Scientists Call on Biden Admin. to Follow the Facts on LNG Exports and Gas-Sourced Hydrogen, Citing Alarming New Research on Methane Emissions https://t.co/6fzNrE709F

We're starting the week with some exciting news! Delmar Gillus, the COO of Elevate who negotiated the historic equity provisions in CEJA on behalf of our coalition, has been appointed to the Clean Energy Jobs and Justice Fund! Congrats, Delmar! #CEJAworks

BIG NEWS: We just launched our CCS hub on our website! 🎉 Check it out here: https://t.co/tE3q3tBHRX

You’ve probably heard a lot about carbon capture recently after @POTUS and the Biden administration released @EPA’s new rules for power plants, which encourage carbon capture to meet their emissions goals. But the truth is that carbon capture is nothing but a scam dreamed up by the fossil fuel industry that will allow them to keep burning fossil fuels, instead of investing in clean, affordable and renewable energy infrastructure.

Countless studies and our own research prove that carbon capture is extremely costly, energy intensive, has a track record of failure and would further harm already-burdened communities. In the end, industry schemes like the carbon capture scam will only extend our reliance on fossil fuels and lock in climate chaos!

That’s why we’re working hard to educate Congressional members, local leaders and everyday people about the dangers of believing the fossil fuel industry’s carbon capture con. This brand new information hub exposes the truth behind the carbon capture myth, and contains research and ways to get involved. It’s the product of months of hard work by our amazing team – and we’re grateful to everyone who helped make it possible. We’re excited to share this project with you, and we hope you’ll share it and join us in taking action to STOP the carbon capture scam! https://t.co/6Kdll38umm

Started weeping when I realized the kids were singing a song my 99-year-old dad taught me from his days on the picket line. They don’t even know all the people they bring into the room with them as they sing.

Today I passed HB676 that will increase community safety by clearly outlining that guns shall be removed from abusers during an emergency order of protection. The intersection of intimate partner violence & gun violence is deadly. We took action to keep survivors safe. #twill

The US gas tax is $0.18/gallon. Eliminating it would save the average driver just $100/year, and deplete the highway trust fund.

Meanwhile, we subsidize the fossil fuel industry in the US by $650B/year: Eliminating that would save the average American $2000/year.

NEW: Today, ComEd filed new rates with the Illinois Commerce Commission that will provide direct credits of more than $1 billion to customers as a result of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA)! Our statement: https://t.co/w1UMNgXmf5 #CEJAworks

🧵FACT CHECK: Fossil fuels are dirty and expensive, and the war in Ukraine has made it worse. Instead of relying on dangerous fossil fuels and their skyrocketing prices, CEJA will create thousands of jobs building a cleaner, less expensive, more reliable energy sector. #CEJAworks

"Climate policy and agreements are complicated, but what's not complicated is that 86% of emissions from past decade come from three things: oil, gas + coal."

Fossil fuels, like nuclear weapons, are a major global threat.

Watch this video to hear more about a proposed global framework to phase out coal, oil and gas fairly and forever.

🚨 SIGNAL BOOST: Today, the @ILSenDems Energy Committee Chair denied us the opportunity to testify against SB1104, which spreads misinformation about the reliability of #RenewableEnergy, undermining the Climate & Equitable Jobs Act. #twill Here's what we would have said:

[People vs. Fossil Fuels @FightFossils]

NOW: Day 3 of action, hundreds are marching to the White House.

The message to @JoeBiden is clear: Climate chaos is happening now. It's hitting frontline communities first and worst.

We don't have time to wait. Stop the fossil fuel production driving the climate crisis now.

RIGHT NOW: Police have begun arresting Indigenous protestors in the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

They are arresting press as well.
