The Trump administration has just authorized nearly $2 billion in taxpayer money for a shocking purpose: to kill three American offshore wind projects.
Trump is essentially paying energy companies to walk away from renewable energy using your hard-earned tax dollars. The catch? To receive the money, they must reinvest it in fossil fuels. This is corruption — plain and simple.
Our SEEC Members are fighting back. Rep. Jared Huffman (the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee) have formally opened a Congressional investigation into these “deals.”
This is not only a complete waste of your tax dollars, but it is also dubiously legal. We are demanding answers to ensure the Trump administration isn’t illegally bypassing Congress to subsidize the fossil fuel industry at the expense of our planet.
If Trump thinks he’s going to get away with this, he’s got another thing coming! SEEC PAC is dedicated to electing and supporting the climate champions who lead these investigations and stand up to the fossil fuel lobby. But we can’t do it without you.
