New @SenateBudget report details how Trump gave Fossil Fuel companies a $3.5 BILLION *annual* tax cut to continue polluting our planet.

The Biden Administration is thankfully reinstating mercury pollution standards for coal plants after Trump threw them out. This great video featuring @SierraClub's @hollybendermsn masterfully breaks down why that's essential for our families, communities & future - check it out:

“We welcome I&M’s decision to fully retire the Rockport Super Polluter, one of the biggest and dirtiest coal plants in the country.” @SierraClub’s @WendyBredhold on this big news about the retirement of one of the most massive coal plants in the US. Grateful for you & allies! 🙏

In KS & MO, Evergy is deciding between committing to an 80% carbon reduction by 2050 or an 85% carbon reduction by 2035. The 2035 plan also results in cleaner, less expensive energy.
Seems like an obvious choice. Let @evergypower know which plan makes more sense to you!
I’m ready to apply what I've learned to tackling the climate crisis on a global scale, and excited to rejoin @brucenilles, my partner in building and leading @BeyondCoal, who I’ll join again at Climate Imperative where he serves as executive director. energyinnovation.org/2021/04…
