Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Earthjustice.

The short explanation of this alert was:
The energy bill will be voted on for final passage in the House and the US Senate this week. The bill left the House-Senate conference stuffed with over $52 billion in financial benefits to oil, gas, coal and nuclear industries. Along with fattening up the dirty energy industry's purses, this bill provides the oil and gas industry with exemptions from the Clean Water Act and shortchanges environmental oversight and public review of energy development. It makes oil and gas drilling the predominant use of our public lands. This bill threatens protections of our nation's air, water and treasured places with little attention paid to making energy cheaper, cleaner and safer for all Americans. Take action today to stop the oil and gas industry's efforts to undermine the country's longstanding environmental safeguards. Congress has already started voting on the bill!
