Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuel companies are actively driving our planet to catastrophe. In order to stand a chance of surviving climate change, we need to keep 80 percent of known fossil fuel reserves in the ground. We are fighting in the courts, the legislature, and the executive brand to loosen Big Oil’s grip and phase out fossil fuels. We stand side by side with communities on the front lines of resisting fossil fuel projects — from extraction, to transportation, to combustion. And we continue to push for investments in safe, reliable renewable energy.
Our public lands campaign seeks to halt oil and gas exploitation of our public lands & waters to end our dependence on fossil fuels. The extraction and burning of fossil fuels from public lands & waters accounts for nearly a quarter of U.S. climate emissions — so we are fighting to protect our public lands through the courts. We also push to protect endangered species and our wild spaces from destructive oil and gas drilling.
Our campaign to end fossil fuel subsidies is taking on the endless subsidies and tax breaks that the U.S. government hands over to Big Oil. In a single year, the fossil fuel industry receives $15 billion in federal subsidies. We work to combat tax credits that are propping up this dying industry.
