While electricity prices continue to climb, many utility companies are keeping old and expensive coal plants online and building more pricey gas plants, rather than investing in renewable, affordable, clean energy. IN THIS ECONOMY?!?

This decision ends a multi-year legal battle that clears the way for Washington state to continue efforts to reduce air pollution, lower utility bills, and transition buildings away from expensive, volatile gas to safer, cleaner electric alternatives.

Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante are irreplaceable. They protect sacred Tribal cultural landscapes, incredible wildlife habitat, world-renowned recreation, and clean water. These places are part of our natural legacy—not for the higgest bidder.

Trump is attempting to slash nearly 3 million acres of protections and virtually eliminate Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments in southern Utah. His actions also defy Intertribal collaborative management and shared stewardship of these landscapes.

Just this spring, thousands of people successfully spoke out against attempts to erase Grand Staircase-Escalante's protections. Now, Trump and the Utah delegation are blatantly ignoring that overwhelming support as they seek to further industrialize and privatize our public lands.

As our nation marks its 250th anniversary, we're celebrating the public lands and waters that bring us together and make this country extraordinary. 🌲🏞️

Utility Reform’s Adria Tinnin, joined the Affordable Energy Campaign in Oakland to call out rising utility costs that drive up housing and everyday essentials. California families are paying the price as rates continue climbing without enough oversight. Hear more from Adria.

Utilities like PG&E are spending too much money without clear oversight or accountability and California families are paying for it.

We need the Public Utilities Commission to take a strong stand on behalf of the people of California and stop blank checks for utilities by limiting the use of memorandum and balance accounts.

May the forest be with you. 🌲 This May 4th, join the rebellion for clean air, protected wild places, and a planet worth fighting for. The force is strongest in nature.

Your calls, emails, and social posts are starting to make a difference. This vote was closer than any of the other similar public lands votes last year. And our work is not over yet. Join us in demanding that the Senate change course and defend the public lands and waters we all love.

In an extremely close 50-49 vote, the Senate passed a resolution to overturn a mining ban in the watershed of Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

This ban was put in place to safeguard clean water, wildlife habitat, irreplaceable cultural and Tribal resources, recreation opportunities, and jobs.

While this action will place these beloved lands and waters at risk, we will not stop fighting alongside downstream communities, Tribal leaders, businesses, concerned residents, and all who love to visit against the threat of toxic sulfide mining.

‼️The U.S. Senate could vote as soon as TODAY or later this week on whether to protect or pollute the watershed of northern Minnesota's Boundary Waters Wilderness. Act now: Tell your Senators to vote NO. 📞 1-202-816-5239 ✍️ sc.org/boundarywaters

👏👏 Jimmy Kimmel got it exactly correct! Wind is an endless clean resource capable of powering millions of American homes and businesses. Beyond keeping the lights on, offshore wind also helps to stabilize unaffordable energy bills and protect against fossil fuel price spikes.

From cancelling clean energy programs to attempts to sell our public lands, many are flagrant, and they're all just plain foul. Want to see the full bracket, learn more, and take action?

Did your power bills go up last month? It might be because Donald Trump is forcing old coal plants to stay online, and making YOU pay to keep them running. Listen to Sierra Club Senior Attorney Greg Wannier answer how this is possible ⬇️
