New Documents Undermine Trump Administration’s Claims About Offshore Wind Deal There was no new investment required from TotalEnergies, according to newly disclosed terms.

Offshore wind projects that were set to power over 1.3 million U.S. homes were traded for…zero added energy capacity, actually. 🤦🏽‍♀️ As Emily says in this article, “Americans’ side of the bargain appears to be worthless”. heatmap.news/energy/total...

Data centers must be held responsible for rising electricity costs and the environmental impact on local communities.

White House releases FY27 budget proposal, continuing plan of massive cuts to Earth science, including elimination of NOAA Research NOAA grant data shows agency awarding grants at a much slower rate than previous years, likely showing administration strategy to reduce scientific spending through budget execution

Trump regime again tries to shutter all NOAA labs in its 2027 White House budget. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...

* Not just proposing (again) to end LIHEAP, but bragging that this is the sixth time they've tried to end it.

* False claim that LIHEAP is unneeded because states' disconnection policies address the issue??

* Misleading claims about "integrity concerns" that have already been addressed.

While the Trump admin continues to make poor decisions that only drive electricity prices higher, the presidential budget calls to eliminate LIHEAP, a program that helps millions of Americans with their heating and cooling bills, yet again?? www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Absolutely breathtaking view of the Artemis II launch.

Wow.

Artemis ii from space

While Washington wages war on science, NASA just sent humans to the Moon's vicinity for the first time since 1972. Bravo #TeamNASA — proof that public science, when it's funded and trusted, still does extraordinary things.

An image featuring a quote from Jason Freed, an educator in Tucson, Arizona, about the high cost of electricity. The background shows a high-angle view of the Tucson city skyline with a desert landscape and saguaro cacti in the foreground. Large, hand-drawn-style speech bubbles contain the following text: "Electricity is a huge issue in Arizona because of how hot it is. We do anything we can to keep the AC use down. If you leave your house or sit in front of a fan all day just to keep the bill under control, something's off. If prices keep going the way they are, we're going to have to keep cutting corners." The final sentence is highlighted in yellow. At the bottom, there is a headshot of Jason Freed, a man with short dark hair wearing a suit and tie, next to his name, occupation, and a yellow location pin icon for "Tucson, AZ." The bottom right corner features the "Center for American Progress" logo.

Families like Jason Freed's are faced with difficult decisions as both the temperature and his utility bills continue to rise.

Fossil fuel pollution is “poisoning more than just our planet.” By degrading air quality protections, the Trump administration is also causing significant damage to our health. @whitehouse.senate.gov

Schumer Says Democrats Will Try to Restore Clean Energy Tax Credits

At last night's LCV Capital Dinner, @schumer.senate.gov unveiled Senate Democrats' new energy affordability vision to tackle skyrocketing energy costs caused by Trump.

Democrats' plan would bring back clean energy tax credits and rescind Trump's Big Oil tax breaks.

This is how you fight back 👏

Trump was right? I remember him promising our energy prices were going to be cut in half within his first year and yet here we are -- electricity prices are rising, even faster than inflation, and households are struggling to pay.

Trump administration will pay a French company $1 billion in taxpayer funds to not build wind farms | CNN The Trump administration announced it will pay nearly $1 billion to French energy giant TotalEnergies in exchange for the company abandoning plans to build offshore wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean an...

$1,000,000,000.

That's how much of our taxpayer money Trump is giving to a foreign fossil fuel company to STOP construction on offshore wind projects.

This nonsensical, destructive "policy" will raise our costs and pollute our planet further all so Big Oil can get even richer.

Trump Administration to Pay $1 Billion to Energy Giant to Cancel Wind Farms

"The deal is an extraordinary transfer of taxpayer dollars to a foreign company for the purposes of boosting the production of fossil fuels, a main driver of climate change"

www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/c...

Let’s call this what it is: a taxpayer-funded bribe to kill homegrown clean energy and hand the money straight to oil and gas executives. Trump is once again making Americans pay more for energy so his Big Oil donors can rake in even more profits.

Suzie Wiles needs some help thinking of ideas to lower gas prices. Any suggestions? How about:

• Don't bomb Iran.
• Restore fuel economy standards.
• Offer rebates to people who want an EV but can't yet afford one.

Even Benedict Bridgerton knows coal is not the path forward so why is the Trump admin insisted on reviving this extremely polluting and expensive industry??

CAP's expert, Greta Bedekovics, answers the most googled questions about the anti-voter SAVE Act and the SAVE America Act.

It's unpatriotic for the Trump administration to intentionally censor and rewrite Black history on National Park Service sites. Black history is American history.

MUST WATCH: Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) IGNORES this Wisconsin teacher's concerns about rising costs and the impact Trump's tariffs have on his community.

If America is “the hottest country,” it’s because of record and deadly heat waves and climate disasters, not because Trump is rebuilding our economy. 173,000 clean energy jobs have been lost or put on hold because he chose Big Oil over US workers.

When Trump says he likes the way this economy is running, it's because he likes making you pay coal and gas execs more money.

Trump said he'd cut energy prices in half. Electricity is up 13 percent. What gives?

Trump's promises to lower energy prices for working families ring hollow from a president who promised to cut energy costs by 50% while instead driving them up ⬆️ 13% in his first year. #SOTU
