Fossil-fueled power plants are among the worst contributors to the climate crisis.

After years of advocacy from Earthjustice and our partners, the Environmental Protection Agency finally took historic action to clean up climate pollution from coal and new gas power plants.

Until now, there had been no limits on the amount of climate-warming pollution that these plants could emit.

For decades, industry has used scare tactics about what will happen if it is required to clean up pollution. And throughout the rulemaking process, polluting industries worked to weaken these rules. Now with the standards finalized, polluters have enlisted allies in Congress to use an extreme tool to weaken our climate protections and we need your help to stop them.

Congress’s weapon of choice is the Congressional Review Act, a back-door tactic that allows them to erase recently finalized protections with little debate and zero public input.

As we face record temperatures and extreme weather disasters, we cannot let Congress undo these critical climate protections. Send a letter to your Congressperson now.
