NEW: There’s a new industrial alliance in Washington.

Tesla, Rivian, and Uber are joining forces with lithium companies, charging companies, and some of the country’s biggest utilities to form @zeta_2030.

Its goal: Make 100% of new vehicles EVs by 2030.

The debate is over ✋

It’s time for a tax system that will help fight our climate crisis, reduce energy bills, and create millions of new jobs for Americans. https://t.co/hQJOW8oKgb

The Dakota Access Pipeline, or DAPL, has been dangerously carrying oil across the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s land for 3 years, unwanted. Now, there's a proposal to expand this pipeline to double its size despite legal & scientific opposition. #NoDAPL https://t.co/pmlJiiGsGS

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

THIS IS BIG.

I’m announcing a new, transformative plan for #CleanCars.

The goal?

Rapidly phase out gas powered vehicles and replace them with clean vehicles.

It would establish the U.S. as a global leader in clean car manufacturing.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

The scale of this plan is big:

It'd mean 63 million fewer carbon-emitting cars on the road
It'd create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs

And what’s different? It can bring together the environmental movement, the labor movement, & large automakers

[Rep. Katie Hill @RepKatieHill]

From freshmen members of Congress like me to long-standing congressional leaders, and from moderates to progressives, we’re coming together in this letter to call for binding climate standards in #NAFTA and a recommitment to the Paris Climate Agreement.

[Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia]

I sent a letter to @realDonaldTrump led by @RepKatieHill and 109 @HouseDemocrats to call for binding climate standards in #NAFTA and a recommitment to the Paris Climate Agreement. We need to #ActonClimate to protect the health and safety of our planet. #ForthePeople

[Rep. Katie Hill @RepKatieHill]

Through my work on this issue, I have seen how disproportionately #LGBTQ people experience homelessness -- protections need to be reinstated in HUD's grant-making process.

These rollbacks are a cruel way to allow discrimination and we won't stand for it. 👇

[Ed Perlmutter @RepPerlmutter]

Thx @RepKatieHill for your leadership on this letter. 76% of Americans agree #climatechange is a crisis or major problem. That’s why I joined 100+ of my colleagues in urging @RealDonaldTrump to stay in the Paris Agreement & ensure NAFTA 2.0 protects our environment. #ActOnClimate

[Dan West @danwest406]

Thank you @NewDemCoalition for committing to make progress on climate!

[New Democrat Coalition (NDC) @NewDemCoalition]

NDC, led by Chair @RepDerekKilmer, Vice Chair @RepScottPeters, & Climate Change Task Force Co-Chairs @RepElaineLuria, @RepDonBeyer, @RepSusanWild & @RepCasten, released #NewDem Priorities for US Climate Policy and endorsed its first slate of bills🌎 https://t.co/RQPwv3uvgR

[Dan West @danwest406]

Thanks @RepRooney for keeping the door open to bipartisan action on climate. Please do more! https://t.co/Vw6j04lDZy

[Friends of the Earth (Action) @foe_us]

Thanks to @SenJeffMerkley & co-signers for calling on @opicgov to reject two fracking projects in Argentina.

The US gov't should not spend $450M tax dollars on projects that will worsen the climate crisis, pollute water and jeopardize the rights of indigenous peoples.

[Perla Trevizo @Perla_Trevizo]

@EPA And what happens in #Texas could play a role in the federal agency’s decision, due by 2020, on the standards and regulations for ethylene oxide emissions for some types of facilities.

[Perla Trevizo @Perla_Trevizo]

In 2016, @EPA concluded #ethyleneoxide was a carcinogen more dangerous than previously thought, but #TCEQ disagrees with the model the federal agency used and is proposing raising the acceptable threshold in the state. Public comments due by Sept. 26: https://t.co/iGntSu4Uh3

@PaulEDawson Thank you for elevating this issue sir! My colleague @hanchennrdc and I just posted this blog along similar lines - https://t.co/XcfHFf4WG2

[Dan West @danwest406]

New blog co-written with
@hanchennrdc

Congress should "prioritize clean energy solutions both at home and abroad to chart a more sustainable path forward and provide other countries with a truly clean energy financing alternative to Russia and China."

[Paul Dawson 📚 @PaulEDawson]

“The U.S. is doubling down on fossil fuels with a boom in oil and gas production that puts a safe climate at risk,”

“The scale of new production forecast from the U.S. is staggering, no other country comes even close.”

U.S. set to pump "staggering" new volumes of oil & gas next decade, making it a key obstacle to #climate solutions, says report from @Global_Witness
