    Critics Hammer Trump Admin's 'Taxpayer Funded Bribe' to Kill Massive Wind Energy Project

    Critics Hammer Trump Admin's 'Taxpayer Funded Bribe' to Kill Massive Wind Energy Project

    "The most corrupt presidency ever—and it's not even close," said one critic.

    Brad Reed
    Mar 23, 2026

    Critics slammed the Trump administration on Monday after it announced a deal to pay almost $1 billion to a French energy company to cancel its plans to construct wind farms across the eastern US.

    As reported by The New York Times, French firm TotalEnergies has agreed to forfeit its leases in federal waters off the coasts of New York and North Carolina, and will instead invest the money it received from the Trump administration into oil and gas projects in the US, "including a facility in Texas that would export liquefied natural gas to global markets."

    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."

    Vice President Harris Tours Areas Hard-Hit By Hurricane Helene In The Carolinas

    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.

    Jessica Corbett
    Sep 26, 2024

    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."

    Jessica Corbett
    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."

    New EPA Funding Boosts Clean Energy Projects Across US

    "With this huge new injection of federal funding, leading states will turn their innovative plans into bold action," said one advocate.

    Julia Conley
    Jul 22, 2024

    More than $4 billion in new funding for the Inflation Reduction Act's anti-pollution grants will help to "deliver a better, cleaner future for America," said one climate action coalition on Monday as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that it would fund 25 new renewable energy and other projects across the country.

    The agency unveiled $4.3 billion in new spending, the result of nearly 300 applications that were submitted by state, local, and tribal governments for the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) included in the IRA—President Joe Biden's $396 billion infrastructure and climate bill passed in 2022.

    'Sounds Like a Plan': Biden Given Roadmap for 100% Clean Energy by 2035

    "This new report not only shows that President Biden's climate goals for the power sector are achievable—but it is among the first to lay out how we can actually get there," said one advocate.

    Jessica Corbett
    Jan 23, 2023

    A pair of green groups on Monday released a report detailing how U.S. President Joe Biden can work toward his goal of 100% clean electricity nationwide by 2035.

    The roadmap from Evergreen Action and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) comes after Biden last year signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) following a bitter battle in Congress. While elements of the legislation alarmed climate campaigners, they welcomed that it contained about $370 billion in climate and energy investments.
