Tell your U.S. senators: No more fossil fuel subsidies

Human activities, including oil and gas drilling, are largely responsible for pushing the planet to these unprecedented temperatures. But the federal government keeps subsidizing these fossil fuel companies.

This summer has brought record-breaking temperatures.

July 2023 was the hottest month since we began keeping records in the 1800s.

Human activities, including oil and gas drilling, are largely responsible for pushing the planet to these unprecedented temperatures. But the federal government keeps subsidizing these fossil fuel companies.

Call on your U.S. senators to end subsidies to the fossil fuel industry.

Fossil fuel subsidies are driving the climate crisis.

While the intensity of July’s heat was extreme, it’s part of a longer pattern of climate change. Driven by the burning of fossil fuels, the planet has been warming for decades.

Yet, every single year, the United States continues to fuel climate change through subsidies to the fossil fuel companies. The federal government doles out $20 billion annually in the form of tax breaks, incentives, and other subsidies to the fossil fuel industry.

Take action to stop fossil fuel subsidies.

We shouldn’t waste taxpayer dollars fueling the climate crisis. That’s why we’re calling on our U.S. senators to help create a fossil-free future by ending subsidies to companies that are destroying our planet.

You can make a difference on this issue. By sending a message to your senators, you will help build the necessary support to see positive change.

Take action to help end fossil fuel subsidies today.
