Climate Power Statement on California Holding Big Oil Accountable

“California just took a huge step toward holding Big Oil accountable for its rampant profiteering at the expense of working families. Last year, oil and gas companies raked in more than $400 billion in record profits. While California is leading the way, Congressional Republicans are doubling down on their unpopular plan to give new handouts to oil and gas CEOs. The contrast could not be clearer.”

La Ley de Contaminadores por Encima de la Gente, respaldada por las petroleras, es una difícil decisión para los republicanos “moderados”

Esta semana, los republicanos MAGA de la Cámara de Representantes presentaron su Ley de Contaminadores por Encima de la Gente, un proyecto de ley de energía que aumentaría los precios para las familias, obstaculizaría nuestro crecimiento de empleos de energía limpia y revertiría protecciones vitales relacionadas con la perforación y el metano. Respaldado por los republicanos radicales MAGA, este proyecto de ley es un voto riesgoso para los llamados republicanos "moderados" que mantienen retenciones precarias en los distritos ganados por el presidente Biden en 2020. Punchbowl News informó esta mañana que están surgiendo dudas entre los líderes republicanos de la Cámara, que están "preocupados de que los moderados del Partido Republicano del Noreste puedan votar en contra del paquete", eliminando cualquier posibilidad de que el proyecto de ley pueda ser aprobado por la Cámara.

Big Oil-Backed Polluters Over People Act Presents Tough Choice for “Moderate” Republicans

This week, MAGA House Republicans introduced their Polluters Over People Act, an energy bill that would raise prices for families, stymie our clean energy job growth, and roll back vital protections related to drilling and methane. Backed by radical MAGA Republicans, this bill is a risky vote for so-called “moderate” Republicans who maintain precarious holds on districts won by President Biden in 2020. Punchbowl News reported this morning that doubts are building among House Republican leadership, who are “worried that Northeastern GOP moderates could vote against the package,” killing any chance the bill could pass the House.
