Fossil fuel billionaire Wes Edens and his company New Fortress want to radically expand US shipments of liquefied fracked natural gas (LNG).

This …

For years we’ve spoken out against fossil fueled fascists, both here in the US and abroad. This week, President Biden took a big step towards fighting fossil fascism by banning all US imports of Russian fossil fuels. We were one of more than 200 groups here in the US that called on Biden to take …

Just before he left office, the defeated former President Trump issued a rushed permit for a massive new oil and gas drilling project in the Arctic.

We’ve said again and again that Dr Bullard has it right: Climate chaos hits Black and brown communities first and worst. Exhibit A remains the US Gulf South: In February 2021, an Arctic blast brought devastation to communities across the Gulf, with particularly intense impacts for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Caribbean communities. And research shows …

The EPA has a chance to crack down on methane pollution and reverse the Biden Administration’s terrible track record (so far) on fossil fuels Biden’s failures are numerous: They permitted 34% more oil and gas drilling in their first year than Trump; the Department of Energy is investing billions of dollars in false solutions like …

One year ago, fossil fueled fascists descended on DC to try and overturn a free and fair election: They stormed the Capitol, attempted to hunt down members of Congress and tried to steal the presidency for Donald Trump. They failed on Jan 6, 2021, but that wasn’t the end of it. As we’ve talked about …

The Jan 6 2021 insurrection at the capitol was a dress rehearsal for Trump and his enablers to plan their overthrow of Democracy. Both sides — Trump’s fossil fueled fascists and ours — learned about each others’ strengths and vulnerabilities. Trump’s side has spent months passing laws to make it easier for partisan officials to …
