Trump keeps trying to auction off this US property for oil drilling. No one is buying. | CNN
A federal deadline came and went this week for oil companies to bid on around 1 million acres of drilling territory off Alaskaβs Cook Inlet.
Good news! In a blow to Trump's 'drill, baby drill' agenda, zero companies bid for the chance to drill for oil and gas in Alaska's Cook Inlet.
This comes after we notified the Interior Department last month of our intent to sue over the planned unlawful lease sale on March 4.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.
From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

The Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding, a scientific finding that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare.
The endangerment finding compels the government to limit climate pollution as a matter of public health. Repealing it has no basis in law or reality.

Why Was Bad Bunny Singing on Top of a Broken Utility Pole at the Super Bowl?
Bad Bunnyβs 13-minute performance at the big game was an ode to Puerto Rico β and its energy woes.
When Bad Bunny scaled a utility pole during his Super Bowl show, it was more than a stunt. His performance highlighted Puerto Rico's frequent power cuts, which have been exacerbated by energy privatization. We're fighting for an equitable and just clean energy system for all Puerto Ricans.
