@elonmusk @RepThomasMassie Over $800 billion is the real cost of Carbon Capture subsidies. Incidentally its erroneously scored at less than 5% of the projections from industry groups backing these subsidies.

If the Republican budget passes, the deficit gets worse, not better.

One must wonder why anyone fawns over new nuclear when it
takes 12-23 y from plan to operation worldwide & 17-23 y in Europe+NAm;
costs 3-8x new solar+wind;
Emits 9-37x CO2 emissions v wind;
& has 4 energy security probs.

I was proud to co-lead a Senate Climate Change Task Force and @SEEC meeting on LNG exports. Witnesses from across the globe shared how Big Oil is exporting fossil fuels to keep up with a global demand that doesn't exist—just their demand for profits at the expense of communities.

What a sophisticated debate on climate. I'm glad the most pressing issue facing the planet was addressed in such a comprehensive and thorough way. Great job moderators and candidates!

LNG exports are bad for the climate and communities across the country—and New Englanders are sick of seeing price spikes from a volatile global gas market and fossil fuel profiteering. @ENERGY must consider how gas exports affect the Northeast and reject LNG exports.

@maxinejoselow This ruling does nothing to change the underlying fact that President Biden has the power to reject new LNG export licenses.
In fact he could do it for CP2 right now!

How long until someone tries to sell termite farms as a carbon offset?

I'm really proud to live in @TakomaParkMD a community that allows everyone who is a resident 16 and older to vote in Municipal elections.
It's important to recognize that immigrants and youth are important to our community and deserve a meaningful voice and representation!

There is no quid pro quo?!?!?

New from WaPo: Trump told oil executives to give his presidential campaign $1 billion. He vowed in return to lower regulations and taxes on big oil. Expect more "deals" like this. Many CEOs are frustrated by Biden's regulatory and anti-trust push. They're willing to turn back to Trump

This is a key step, but we can’t stop here. To save a habitable planet for future generations, we need a thorough review process that accurately considers how exports impact #envirojustice, energy prices, and the climate crisis. My colleagues and I will make sure that happens.

So awesome to see @RepChuyGarcia calling out @APIenergy and their misleading claims about the safety of carbon capture pipelines!
Congressman Chuy García@RepChuyGarcia
“The incident occurred, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the pipeline wasn’t safe.” That’s what an @APIenergy exec said when I asked about a massive CO2 pipeline leak in Louisiana. There are dangerous gaps in CO2 pipeline regulation. We can't rely on industry to keep us safe.

@SenateBudget Really looking forward to Congress finally going after the new fossil fuel industry climate scams on CCS, H2 and carbon offsets.

This week, we’re shining a light on the fossil fuel industry’s decades-long campaign of deceit about climate change.
Tune in Wednesday, May 1st at 9am.

I paid my taxes today.
Unfortunately hundreds of billions of our tax dollars are teed up to feed greedy corporate pigs who are ruining the planet and pushing the CCScam 😡
Eliminate #45Q because #CCS is a scam

No offense to actual pigs with this metaphor but polluters are eating at the taxpayer-subsidy trough! The #45Q tax credit for #CarbonCaptureAndStorage (#CCS) provides BIG money to the fossil fuel industry & other polluters on the public's dime!😡#CarbonCaptureTaxScam #TaxDay 🧵

President Biden needs to encourage Japan to get off fossil fuels, not enable a massive expansion of LNG exports.
Oil Change International@PriceofOil
Guess who's welcoming @JPN_PMO Kishida to the @WhiteHouse?⚡ 🇯🇵Japan has poured over 💰$52 billion💰 in public & private finance into US LNG, devastating communities & ecosystems. This must end. This auspicious @Kishida203 @POTUS visit warrants a 🧵 #SayonaraFossilFuels

HAPPENING NOW: John Beard Jr., founder of Port Arthur Community Action Network, is testifying before Congress on the REAL impacts of LNG in the Gulf, and how @POTUS's decision to pause new gas export projects benefits frontline communities.

Great to see EPA taking a hard look and stopping this CCS project from moving forward.
When you take a hard look at these carbon capture scams you see lies, greed,and harms.
Dr. Sandra Steingraber 🏳️🌈@ssteingraber1
NEW: A major carbon capture and storage project in McFarland, CA is dead after discrepancies between the company’s EPA application and how the company described the project in its local land use application came to light. CCS is dangerous and unhelpful. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-r…

We were proud to join @IENEarth and over 100 other groups in opposing carbon offset schemes in international climate negotiations. We must FULLY phase out fossil fuels and factory farming to cut emissions at the source. ienearth.org/groups-call-to…

Huge win today – both houses have now passed the CO2 #fracking ban bill! Huge thanks to the grassroots movement that made this possible. When we organize, we win!
Big thanks to sponsors @AMKelles and @leawebbforny!
Now, we need @GovKathyHochul to sign.
