As we move towards 100% clean energy, the fossil fuel industry is looking for a lifeline to protect its profits. It’s betting big on dirty hydrogen, carbon capture, and petrochemicals to keep up demand for its products – and keep polluting. We need to tell the Department of Energy not to give taxpayer dollars to corporate polluters for projects that will extend the life of fossil fuels.
The Inflation Reduction Act is the biggest climate investment in history. It includes an additional $350 billion for Department of Energy loans to energy infrastructure projects. How this money is allocated will impact how quickly the U.S. transitions to clean energy – or how long we continue burning fossil fuels.
The fossil fuel industry and its political allies are pushing for this money to go to dirty hydrogen, carbon capture projects, and petrochemical facilities. Many of these facilities are planned in low-income communities and communities of color already overburdened by pollution and a long history of environmental injustice. If these projects go forward, they will lock in more oil and gas development, more climate pollution, and more toxic air pollution that poisons frontline communities. Instead, DOE loans must be directed to clean energy and other projects that reduce pollution and advance climate and environmental justice.
Tell the Department of Energy to follow through on the Biden administration’s climate and environmental justice commitments and see to it that our tax money does not support the fossil fuel industry.
