The only path to true energy independence

Image
  The price of oil has skyrocketed over  $100 per barrel  because of Donald Trump’s war in Iran and gas prices have increased by nearly 20% overnight. This underscores a reality we’ve known all along: As long as we rely on global fossil fuels, our economy is at the mercy of foreign instability. We were told that transitioning from an oil and gas importer to a fossil fuel exporter would make us more energy independent. But it hasn’t. Domestic production doesn’t matter if we’re still tied to these extremely volatile global oil markets. Here’s the truth: The only path to energy independence is through the rapid development of more clean and renewable energy right here at home. By transitioning to a clean energy economy, we will lower our energy bills, secure our future, and finally end the cycle of “forever oil wars.” We must act now to build a more sustainable future and put Americans back in charge of our own destiny. Add your name to tell Donald Trump: No more forever oil...

The truth about Trump’s DOGE cuts

Image
  While the Trump administration’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) claims to be cutting waste, the reality about what they are doing to our environment is far worse. They aren’t just trimming budgets: they are firing scientists and taking a wrecking ball to the agencies that keep us safe. It recently came to light that DOGE effectively muzzled a critical drilling watchdog in Alaska (which couldn’t come at a worse time as Trump is expanding oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge!) We need your help to fight back against these cuts to programs that protect our environment and keep us safe! Will you please rush in a donation right now to help our SEEC Members keep up the fight in Congress? This news comes after a top federal safety regulator for offshore drilling in Alaska issued a dire warning: his office lacks the staffing to oversee even existing oil and gas operations. This isn’t about efficiency. It’s about removing the "referees" so their allies in the fossil fuel ...

Trump’s new mascot THIS IS IRRATIONAL!

Image
  I thought this was so ridiculous that I had to share: Donald Trump just announced the Department of the Interior has a new mascot: a giant lump of coal named “Coalie.” Are you kidding me? This isn’t a sports game, this is serious business. The truth is we need to transition AWAY from coal if we’re going to save our planet from climate change. This is just another example of Donald Trump showing that he doesn’t give a damn about our environment. Sign our petition to tell Trump to give it up: Coal is the energy of the past and we need to move towards a more sustainable energy future! ADD YOUR NAME » — David @ SEEC PAC Thanks to your help in 2024, SEEC PAC  re-elected over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives  — defying the odds on a night when Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 119th Congress while we continue fighting for a sustai...

BREAKING: Trump says your life is worth nothing

Image
  Donald Trump’s EPA just made a major shift: they will no longer consider the lives saved from two of the most deadly air pollutants when setting air pollution limits. Isn’t that crazy? That means they don’t care if we’re breathing in toxic chemicals that cause asthma and other serious health conditions. They are rigging the game to let corporate polluters off the hook so they can continue pumping unlimited amounts of dirty pollution into the air. We cannot allow them to pollute the air we breathe and get away with it! Will you chip in now to help our climate champions fight back to protect our clean air in Congress? This new "Dirty Air Rule" is a blatant giveaway to some of the worst corporate polluters including coal-burning power plants, oil refineries, steel mills, and other industrial facilities. It will only result in more severe health issues, hospitalizations, and premature deaths. SEEC Members like Co-Chair Rep. Paul Tonko are leading the fight to protect the Clean ...

Coal miners are getting black lung. Trump doesn’t care.

Image
  Donald Trump loves to talk about how much he supports the coal industry. But he doesn’t love the coal miners who have kept this industry running. Across the country, miners are contracting black lung at younger and younger ages. Some regions are seeing rates as high as one in five workers! This disease is debilitating. It is deadly. And miners have begged the federal government to keep strong protections in place. But instead of protecting them, the Trump Administration is now considering rolling back black lung protections that miners themselves have begged them to keep in place. This is unacceptable! Will you chip in today to help SEEC Members fight these rollbacks and stand up for the miners whose lives are on the line? DONATE $10 » Trump’s effort to prop up a dying industry is coming at the expense of the very workers who have paid the price. He is willing to sacrifice people for profit. He is willing to put miners who have already spent decades in dangerous conditions at eve...

Three women fighting to save our planet

Image
  Three women —  Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Emilia Sykes (OH-13), and Laura Gillen (NY-04)  — are fighting to defend some of the most competitive toss-up races in the country. They’re also leading the charge to stand up against Donald Trump’s attacks on science and defend our planet from the growing climate crisis. Whether they win or lose could decide control of Congress and the future of America’s clean energy progress. Chip in now to help elect these climate champions and take back the House! SUPPORT THESE CLIMATE CHAMPIONS » Trump and his allies are firing scientists, gutting environmental protections, and slashing clean energy jobs. If we lose in November, the damage could be irreversible. That’s why we need your help to defend these vulnerable, toss-up seats. Marcy, Emilia, and Laura are on the frontlines of the fight for our climate and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Let’s make sure they have the resources to win next year! Will you chip in now to help us support these ...
