While we set our clocks forward for Daylight Saving Time, @epaleezeldin.govpeeps.us is taking us back in time. Attempts to weaken and roll back methane pollution protections that #CutMethane take us backward on progress. sc.org/epa
🛢️In 2024, Trump told Big Oil execs he'd protect their interests if they spent $1 BILLION to elect him. Now, he's upheld his end of the deal.
New @senatebudget.bsky.social report details how Trump gave Fossil Fuel companies a $3.5 BILLION *annual* tax cut to continue polluting our planet.
Tonight, as costs for American families continue to soar and environmental and public health protections are weakened by his administration, Donald Trump delivered the first official State of the Union address of his second term. 🔗 bit.ly/3OJVGH8
“If asset owners want to protect their investments from climate impacts, they must stop asset managers from financing the companies fueling the crisis. Too many still aren’t acting," write Sierra Club & Reclaim Finance in @climateandcap.bsky.social.
The Sierra Club will do everything we can to hold polluters accountable and fight this dangerous rollback every step of the way.
According to the Sierra Club’s Trump Coal Pollution Dashboard, this rollback undoing the stronger 2024 updates would allow the dirtiest coal-fired power plants to release 50% more mercury pollution into our air.
He doesn't want to make Americans healthier, he just wants to help his buddies in the coal industry cut corners and save a few bucks.
Trump’s EPA just rolled back critical, lifesaving Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, allowing dirty coal plants to release more mercury, arsenic, and other dangerous pollutants into our air.
New @nyccomptroller.bsky.social @marklevinenyc.bsky.social & NYC pension trustees are weighing a $40B+ move from BlackRock over its climate failures — which could set a key national precedent, writes Sierra Club ED Loren Blackford in @crainsnewyork.bsky.social:
The coalition says these rollbacks will increase pollution, raise fuel costs, and put communities at risk.

The lawsuit, filed today by the Sierra Club and a coalition of health and environmental advocacy groups, challenges recent actions by the Trump administration’s EPA under Administrator Lee Zeldin to eliminate clean vehicle standards and repeal safeguards against climate pollution.
The Sierra Club is suing the Environmental Protection Agency over its rollback of key climate protections, arguing the move is illegal, unscientific, and harmful to public health.
The Sierra Club is saddened to learn of the passing of Rev Jesse Jackson. Civil rights leader, environmental justice advocate, and a strong tireless voice for those this nation too often fails to hear. We send condolences to his family, loved ones, and all who admired him as we celebrate his legacy.
In a new @newsweek.com, leaders from the @sierraclub.org, @nrdc.org, Environmental Defense Fund, and @earthjustice.org warn that the Trump administration’s latest Environmental Protection Agency pollution policy puts corporate profits ahead of public health.
On one hand, renewables are cheaper, cleaner, and ready for commitment.
The other choice? These coal power plants swear they’re here for the right reasons, but all they do is raise energy bills and make Americans sick.
Sounds like a red flag to us. 🚩
On this season of Coal is Blind, the choice between renewables and coal may seem easy, yet Trump can't get enough of his toxic relationship with coal power plants.
Trump just announced $175 million to upgrade six aging coal plants instead of retiring them.
On one hand, renewables are cheaper, cleaner, and ready for commitment.
The other choice? These coal power plants swear they’re here for the right reasons, but all they do is raise energy bills and make Americans sick.
Sounds like a red flag to us. 🚩
With the stroke of a pen at a White House, Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin have formalized climate denialism as official government policy and moved to eliminate EPA’s ability to directly fight the climate crisis.
Today, in a brazen assault on the health and welfare of the American public, the Trump administration announced its rule revoking the Environmental Protection Agency’s longstanding greenhouse gas endangerment finding under the federal Clean Air Act.
TVA is set to hold its first board meeting this week with its newly confirmed members after President Trump fired three TVA board members last year.
The Tennessee Valley Authority has announced plans to potentially roll back retirement dates for the Kingston and Cumberland coal plants, locking the region into coal energy for years to come. These inefficient coal plants will only add more burden to our budgets and pollute our communities.
🚨 BREAKING: Trump is moving to eliminate the EPA’s Endangerment Finding — one of the strongest legal tools we have to fight climate pollution.
We will fight this. Polluters should pay — not the public. Read more at our statement bit.ly/4aNcAwb
The U.S. Senate is expected to vote NEXT WEEK on a resolution to repeal protections for the Boundary Waters watershed -- putting clean water and communities at serious risk.

Michigan is now the 11th state to sue Big Oil for its climate lies. 👏 👏
In a groundbreaking antitrust suit, Michigan says the "cartel" of ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, BP, and the American Petroleum Institute conspired to block clean energy, protect fossil fuels, and drive up costs for consumers.
🚨 Our new scorecard reveals U.S. public pensions are lagging on investing in climate solutions like clean energy & resilience infrastructure, despite knowing that climate change massively threatens millions of public sector workers' retirement savings.
California pension @calpers.bsky.social invested $60B in 'climate solutions'. So why does that include fossil fuels?
As the largest U.S. public pension, what CalPERS does matters, writes Allie Lindstrom & Jakob Evans for @calmatters.org.
