    Congress Urged to 'Stand Up for Itself' as Trump Admin Halts EV Charger Program

    "Freezing these EV charging funds is yet another one of the Trump administration's unsound and illegal moves," said one climate advocate.

    Climate campaigners are blasting the Trump administration's move to halt a $5 billion initiative to build electric vehicle chargers along highways across the United States and calling on Congress to fight back against the attack on the grant program from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law.

    The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program was established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Natural Resources Defense Council's Beth Hammon said in a Friday statement that "on a bipartisan basis, Congress funded this program to build a new vehicle charging network nationwide. The Trump administration does not have the authority to halt it capriciously."

    Kamala Harris' Economic Vision Underscores Clear Climate Choice in 2024 Election

    Donald Trump’s Project 2025 would cost the economy billions, jack up household bills, and rob us of a safer climate future. It isn’t just a policy proposal—it’s a full-scale assault on progress.

    Lena Moffitt
    Oct 18, 2024

    Vice President Kamala Harris recently unveiled her new economic plan, a vision for America that not only charts a path to tackle climate pollution but harnesses it as an opportunity to build a more affordable, prosperous country. Her plans and record shows we can tackle the climate crisis while creating a more equitable economy. In fact, the Biden-Harris administration’s climate law has already spurred over $372 billion in investments and created more than 334,000 new jobs—with nearly half of the benefits going to historically marginalized groups, including low-income households and Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities.

    At Evergreen Action, we’re fighting to enact policies to tackle the climate crisis head-on while making people’s lives better. One way we do that is by holding politicians accountable to their climate commitments and shining a light on the impact of climate policy, good or bad. This election, the choice could not be more stark.

    Exclusive: Khanna Proposes End to 'Unconscionable' Taxpayer Subsidies for Big Oil

    "The fossil fuel industry receives over $20.5 billion in taxpayer dollars every year while fleecing American consumers and driving a global climate crisis," said the California Democrat.

    As fossil fuel giants continue to rake in billions of dollars in profits, U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna on Thursday is reintroducing legislation to end giving billions in taxpayer dollars to companies that inject captured carbon dioxide into wells to extract more climate-wrecking oil.

    "The fossil fuel industry receives over $20.5 billion in taxpayer dollars every year while fleecing American consumers and driving a global climate crisis," Khanna (D-Calif.) told Common Dreams. "The End Polluter Welfare for Enhanced Oil Recovery Act will eliminate the subsidy for captured carbon used for enhanced oil recovery, which only leads to more fossil fuel extraction and does nothing to mitigate climate change."

    Climate Movement Says Tim Walz for VP an 'Encouraging Sign'

    "Gov. Walz has signed bills to achieve 100% clean energy by 2040, equitably ramp up clean energy deployment, dedicate consistent funding to public transit, and incorporate climate into transportation investment decisions."

    Aug 06, 2024

    The U.S. climate movement on Tuesday celebrated Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris' choice of Tim Walz as her running mate, despite concerns about the Minnesota governor's record on the Line 3 oil pipeline and Indigenous-led protests against it.

    "Like Vice President Harris, Gov. Walz knows that climate change is the existential threat of our time," declared Sierra Club executive director Ben Jealous. "In his time serving in Congress and as governor, he has worked to protect clean air and water, grow our clean energy economy, and see to it that we do all we can to avoid the very worst of the climate crisis."
