A 24 hour haunting of FERC

FERC is scary. Taking action isn’t.

This fall has been a roller coaster ride of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) news: First, courts struck down several projects FERC had approved, and which we had protested, and ordered them not just to reconsider, but to re-do the whole permitting process on them; Then, we took those demands to the September FERC meeting …

The fall of FERC has come, the fall of FERC will come again

What a blast! We had an amazing action at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) this morning. You can read the whole story in our press release, which includes a link to loads more photos and videos, or watch a whole LONG livestream from outside with lots of speakers and blockades and more. But for …

A Fall of FERC meme shows a burning earth with a FERC logo on it above the Roman colosseum

The Fall of FERC is fast approaching.

Last Spring, we fought to UnFrack FERC (the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) and the Fall of FERC in September is our chance to end this imperial outpost of fossil fuels. With grassroots movements escalating against fossil fuels and federal Courts finally validating our arguments and issuing real consequences for FERC’s failures – is this the …

Stop GulfLink to block Climate Killing Fossil Fuel Exports

Meet the GulfLink export terminal, the latest fossil fuel export terminal killing the planet and making a mockery of US goals on climate action. GulfLink would pump an additional 1 million barrels of crude oil per day to international buyers, creating an incredible 3.8 billion metric tons of climate-changing pollution. It’s also located (of course) …

Tell President Biden we need a strong NEPA now!

Short on time to make NEPA stronger

Back when Trump was President, and not just the nation’s leading fossil-fueled fascist, his administration took a hatchet to the National Environmental Policy Act – NEPA. Trump’s rules gutted NEPA, especially communities’ ability to learn about and challenge potential projects based on their cumulative impact on the climate and environment; For example, Trump’s NEPA rules …

EPA Power Plant rules comments are due Aug 8

Tell the EPA to clean up their power plant plan

​Aug 7 update – President Biden’s EPA has proposed new rules to limit global warming pollution from power plants, and if done right, they could eliminate up to 90% of global warming pollution from the electric sector! But, as usual, the Biden Administration is paying more heed to corporate profits than they are to cutting …

Tell the EPA we need clean cars now

Tell EPA we need clean cars now, not later

I have another quick action, with another holiday weekend deadline, this time about all the cars in America. Transportation accounts for nearly a third of total US climate pollution, and is the biggest individual source of climate pollution in US right now. Fortunately, the EPA is finalizing new rules for car and truck pollution right …

Louisiana deserves better than this EPA False solution to climate change

The EPA is selling out Louisiana for false climate solutions

President Biden promised to cut global warming pollution in half by 2030, and to “net zero” by 2050. His EPA Administrator, Michael Regan, promised to prioritize environmental justice, and to protect overburdened communities like those in Louisiana’s cancer alley. Today, the EPA is breaking both promises – abandoning the people of Louisiana and Gulf south …

Permitting reform done wight meme

Permitting reform done right: America never knew how to build. But it could.

For more than a year now, we’ve been hearing the same lie about so-called permitting reform. The lie goes like this: America used to know how to build things. But then we invented a lot of environmental rules, like NEPA the National Environmental Policy Act, and environmentalists and especially communities of color got really good …
