Nuclear weapons aren’t just abstract strategy — the infrastructure supporting them runs through everyday life. @inkstickmedia.com reports on the hidden transport system moving nuclear materials across US highways. inkstickmedia.com/every-day-nu...
Trump’s illegal war with Iran has already taken a devastating human toll. It could also mean higher energy bills worldwide, while fossil fuel companies, traders, and investors get rich. Read our deep dive: oilchange.org/blogs/trumps...
Perhaps Texans should dump pollution into the swimming pools & gardens of Dow & Union Carbide executives to see if they’re ok with it. I’m guessing they won’t be. So why should Texans accept Dow’s pollution?

We will continue to stand for science-based policy and the health of our communities. #endangermentfinding #climatecannotwait
Rescinding it weakens federal protections against extreme heat, worsening air quality, & climate-driven health harms.
We strongly oppose this action. In a state already experiencing record heat and pollution burdens, federal safeguards are not optional; they are essential to protecting health.
This science-based determination established that greenhouse gases endanger public health & it has been the legal foundation for regulating climate pollution under the Clean Air Act for more than a decade (1/3).
Today marks one year of Trump’s presidency. It has been a disastrous period of anti-science and climate regressive policies, with more than 100 rollbacks and other harmful actions leading to substantial, measurable harms to the American people and the climate. #ClimateCan'tWait
Texas got more energy last year from solar power than from coal—and no wonder. Solar power costs less than other sources of electricity and is much faster to build. That’s huge for the health of our planet and our people. #txlege www.houstonchronicle.com/business/ene...
Who stands to profit, and who stands to pay, from Trump’s play for Venezuela’s oil?
⬆️Profit: Big Oil + major investors
⬇️Pay: The people of Venezuela, US taxpayers + our climate

Anti-energy policies are threatening to prevent an enormous amount of energy from plugging into the Texas grid. Our booming state needs more power—attacks on renewables give us less. #txlege www.pv-magazine.com/2025/11/20/s...
Several bills set to be considered in a House committee would raise costs for households and businesses by attacking energy-saving standards. The Committee on Energy & Commerce’s holds a markup today to consider amending the bills and vote on advancing them.

Fossil fuels are bad for the planet and health. Our new report shows how coal, oil & methane gas harm every system of the body at every stage of life. Learn more: psr.org/fuelingsickness

“We’re Dying Here”
The investments willingly made in fossil fuels by giant $billionaire firms TIAA & Vanguard are cruel and irresponsible.
Just ask the people of coastal Texas and Louisiana👇🏾

A graph showing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector rising in lockstep with production of these fossil fuels. That suggests the industry is failing to take steps to reduce methane emissions along its supply chain.
Since 2017, the Int'l Energy Agency has told the world the fossil fuel industry can reduce its emissions of toxic, planet-warming methane at little to no cost to itself. But industry keeps failing to clean up its act. Methane emissions are still rising in lockstep with production. bit.ly/47YXaVt
