The climate emergency and skyrocketing prices are leaving millions of families grappling with energy insecurity. Gas prices are spiraling out of control with many parts of the country paying more than $6 per gallon at the pump. Big Oil and fossil fuel companies are padding their bottom line by gouging prices.

We must move beyond fossil fuels that are subject to corporate price manipulation and rapidly accelerate global warming and invest in clean energy technologies. Public investments in affordable, renewable, reliable energy will help us break Big Oil's monopoly on energy costs and make those costs more affordable for every household.  

The communities hit the hardest by Big Oil and fossil fuels are the ones that can least afford it. Our reliance on fossil fuels disproportionally affects Black and brown communities. "Natural" gas exposes people to cancer-causing agents, and the threat of exposure prevents kids from going to school. Fossil fuel pollution is linked to negative health impacts for communities near these pollution sources. We need to act now to transition our country towards a green economy and ensure energy security and environmental justice for everyone.  

President Biden has issued an executive order to boost solar manufacturing, but it will not be enough to accelerate the needed transition. Congress must pass critical funding for renewable energy that will lower utility costs and help get us off fossil fuels.

The Energy Security and Independence Act would provide $100 billion for investment in the U.S.'s renewable energy supply chain and programs to lower utility prices. It would help ensure U.S. energy security benefits us -- NOT the fossil fuel industry.

Join us in demanding Congress act now to transition off fossil fuels – they must start by passing the Energy Security and Independence Act. Sign the petition to Congress: Pass the Energy Security and Independence Act
