A new bill that masquerades as a boost for energy efficiency but is, in reality, a major boon for the fossil fuel industry was just approved by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Despite claims of bipartisan Support and benefits for the power grid, the truth is that this bill would lock us further into dependency on fossil fuels and undermine decades of environmental progress.

The proposed bill, touted as a way to speed up permitting for energy projects, is heavily criticized by environmental groups for prioritizing fossil fuel interests at the expense of public lands, public health, and the fight against Climate change. It seeks to fast-track oil, gas, and mining projects, cutting short the time communities have to challenge these projects from six years to a mere 150 days. This drastic reduction in oversight time would severely limit public input and endanger the communities most impacted by these developments.

Please sign this petition to urge your Congress members to stand against this deceptive and dangerous legislation!
