The climate crisis, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and rising energy prices all have one thing in common—fossil fuels. The Biden administration must use all the power and the tools at their disposal to tackle climate change and protect our health by speeding the shift to 100% clean energy sources that won’t condemn us to endless cycles of chaos, suffering and war.
The climate crisis, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and rising energy prices underscore the urgent need to break free from fossil fuels. The Biden administration must use all the power and the tools at their disposal to tackle climate change and improve public health. We need to show them we have their backs — and we’re counting on them to enact bold policies to address this crisis and usher in a cleaner, healthier future. That means:
• Cleaning up pollution from cars and heavy-duty trucks, and expanding zero-emissions and electric vehicles
• Cracking down on pollution from dirty, outdated fossil fuel power plants
• Stopping new offshore oil and gas drilling, which threatens devastating oil spills and keeps us addicted to fossil fuels
• Eliminating lead in drinking water that’s poisoning children across America, and cleaning up polluted lakes, rivers, and streams contaminated by toxins
Biden’s key environmental agencies, including the EPA, the Interior Department, and the Department of Transportation are expected to propose new regulations in the weeks and months ahead — so we have no time to waste.
