New blog from Laura Peterson publishes emails obtained through an open records request and reveals that some groups involved in the disinformation campaign at the heart of Boulder’s climate accountability lawsuit are shopping legislation to shield the fossil fuel industry from liability.

Do you care about clean air and clean water? Don’t want AI data centers in your backyard? Do you want access to outdoor spaces that are safe for your kids to play in? Then take action against dirty permitting reform! win.newmode.net/climatejusti...

‼️ Today, the Senate unveiled a permitting reform bill that would make it easier for fossil fuel + tech companies to steamroll community opposition to their polluting, climate-wrecking projects. This bill would benefit Big Tech and Big Oil, not working families.

💥 We're proud to announce our endorsements of Mai Vang (@maiforus.bsky.social) and Dr. Adam Hamawy (@hamawyfornj.bsky.social). They're ready to fight like hell in Congress to lower the cost of living, hold the Trump admin accountable for corruption, and protect communities from climate disasters.

🚨 NY’s Nepali community + representatives of frontline communities around the world rallied outside the UN headquarters for Climate Week. Our demand: Global North countries must pay reparations for the Global South countries at highest risk from climate disasters.

Decisionmakers must: 🛑 Stop building new gas projects that lock us into expensive and harmful fossil fuels ✅Make a rapid transition to affordable renewable energy. Read the full report: oilchange.org/publications...

Trump’s agenda rapidly pushing the growth of LNG exports and AI data centers is causing a surge of demand for fossil gas. Our new report at @oilchange.org shows what that means for working class families - skyrocketing energy bills in the US and globally. Read it here👇🏼

📣 Our new report finds that the Trump admin’s energy + AI “dominance” policies + hostility to renewables will make it even harder for working families to afford their energy bills. Thanks to Trump, the wholesale price of fossil gas could DOUBLE over the next decade, outpacing inflation every year.

For the last year and a half, DoorDash has been silent as delivery drivers in DC have been hunted in the streets and even killed by ICE and other federal police. Now, the company has come out in support of #HR9720 — the blatant attack on DC Home Rule — just so it can earn more money.

💫 We're so excited to endorse Green New Deal champion Cori Bush for Congress! Cori is: 💥 The author of the Green New Deal for Cities 💥 A fierce advocate for getting corporate money out of politics, including Big Oil money 💥 A fighter for working families across St. Louis.

🔥 Breaking: We just endorsed two Michigan climate leaders running for Congress - state senator and Green New Deal advocate @donavanmckinney.bsky.social and @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social cofounder @wewill2026.bsky.social. ☎️ Join a phonebank to help them win their primaries! https://bit.ly/4eKDWWK

It’s time Congress puts working families—not fossil fuel corporations—at the center of U.S. energy policy. @SenJeffMerkley’s new legislation clarifies no new LNG export projects should get approval when it raises prices for families at home. bit.ly/4xpl86A

1/ Here’s a snapshot of tankers currently heading to the U.S. to load up on crude. It took weeks to offload oil already in transit when U.S./Israel attacked Iran. THIS buffered the initial shock. Now that the cushion is gone, the disruption is intensifying. 🧵👇

👏👏👏 @khanna.house.gov and @merkley.senate.gov just reintroduced the "End Polluter Welfare for Enhanced Oil Recovery Act" to stop fossil fuel CEOs from cashing in on dubious tax breaks at taxpayers' expense. Learn more: bit.ly/3NB2zur

Working families pay more for gas, food, and basic necessities. Fossil fuel CEOs get richer. That’s the reality behind Donald Trump’s war. Read our response to Trump's address: oilchange.org/news/trumps-...

On Terra Verde, editor @maureennandinimtra.bsky.social discusses the fallout of the Trump admin allowing a controversial oil pipeline along the Santa Barbara County coast to restart with Talia Nimmer of @biologicaldiversity.org & @collinrees.bsky.social of @oilchange.bsky.social shorturl.at/Tt6Pp

Petrochemical expansion is not inevitable — it is financed. Our new report traces $133B in bank financing and $1.6T in investor exposure behind US petrochemical growth — even as legal challenges, overcapacity, & cancellations mount Read: bit.ly/4uOHCga

"To protect communities from environmental disasters + wars for oil, we must reject extractive energy models + build democratic systems to prioritize community health. "The future of Venezuela should be determined by its people, not by U.S. fossil fuel executives looking to maximize their profits.”

Today, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado spoke in Houston at #CERAWeek. "Machado’s speech shows how conflict + instability open the door for fossil fuel companies to entrench their stronghold worldwide," said @allieeerose.bsky.social in response. Read: oilchange.org/news/respons...

"As energy bills + the price of gas spike due to Trump’s war in #Iran, this admin is prioritizing fossil fuel donors – not making life affordable for working families. "The real path to energy security, reliability, + resilience is a just transition to affordable renewable energy." #CERAWeek

We watched fracking CEO Chris Wright's speech at #CERAWeek – the world's biggest oil/gas fest – so you don't have to. It was a disaster. "If oil prices rise $20 a barrel, Big Oil could rake in $280 million in extra revenue EVERY DAY." – @allieeerose.bsky.social Read: oilchange.org/news/chris-w...

🔥 A must-read piece from @dharna.bsky.social on why Trump's "drill, baby, drill" policies fail to prevent oil prices from skyrocketing after his attacks on Iran. Trump's wars enrich his billionaire fossil fuel donors, as people pay the price in lost lives, destroyed communities + soaring costs.

📣 🎉 We are proud to endorse @chrisrabb.com's campaign to represent PA's 3rd District in Congress. A longtime fighter for climate and environmental justice, Rep. Rabb is the clear climate champion in this race. oilchangeaction.org/chris-rabb-e...

Big wins in NC!! Congrats @rodneysadler.com, Rodney Pierce, Veleria Levy, and Patricia Smith

1/ Trump’s illegal war with Iran has already taken a devastating human toll. It could also mean higher energy bills worldwide, while fossil fuel companies, traders and investors get rich. Read our deep dive 🧵👇:

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

"Fossil fuel executives are the arsonists of the climate crisis. They cannot be trusted to help extinguish the fire,” Collin Rees, U.S. campaign manager at @oilchange.bsky.social told @desmog.com from #COP30 www.desmog.com/2025/11/14/u...

When you run for office, some of the pledges and promises you’re asked about take some analysis. Others are pretty simple. I committed to the #NoFossilFuelMoney pledge early on, and am excited to actually post the photo and add my name to the list at nofossilfuelmoney.org.

Oil And Gas Industry To Get $40 Billion In New Subsidies From Republicans Because They Love The Free Market So Much

Go @hynotnw.bsky.social! The grassroots group are campaigning against the UK's dangerous, unproven, and expensive carbon capture and blue hydrogen plans. They describe it as "fossil fuel light" - comparable to the tobacco industry’s promotion of low-tar cigarettes. inews.co.uk/news/ellesme...

When the world's biggest insurer says climate change has pushed traditional home insurance to its limits, it's already too late to start preparing. And we are in no way ready for a post-insurance world. Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

1️⃣ Congratulations to @oilchange.bsky.social, and particularly @collinrees.bsky.social, for its new study on U.S. federal subsidies for fossil fuel production, which they estimate at $34.8 billion ($4 bln of which were added by Congress this year). This is who people should be citing, not the IMF.

Is this where we want our tax money going? The fossil fuel industry is set to receive $34.8 billion in handouts every year – over $4 billion of which were added by Trump and Republicans this year. @oilchange.bsky.social

NEW REPORT: Each year, as working families struggle, the federal gov’t subsidizes the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $35 BILLION. Ridiculous. We need to invest in our communities, not give handouts to the Big Oil Billionaires destroying our planet. oilchange.org/publications...
