Shift the Subsidies: Money for a Clean Future, Not Big Oil
Every year, billions of our tax dollars are given away to the oil and coal industries. We shouldn’t be giving our tax money to subsidize these corporations that already set record profits while polluting.
It is time to stop funding the problems, and start funding the solutions. We need to fund clean energy and communities, not old and dying industries.
At the G20 meetings last year, President Obama made a historic pledge to end fossil fuel subsidies. But progress on this front has been slow, with Congress dragging its feet. Let's encourage him - and our elected representatives - to make this pledge a reality.
Please send a letter to President Obama and your representatives in Congress to demand that our government stop supporting Big Oil and Coal, and shift that money instead to support clean energy, energy access, and climate-related needs.
