Tell Congress to Stop Trump’s Clean Energy Sellout

As deadly heat grips communities around the world, a French court just delivered a warning to one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel companies: TotalEnergies cannot ignore the climate damage tied to its oil and gas business.

But here in the United States, the Trump administration is doing the opposite.

Instead of accelerating clean energy, Trump’s Interior Department agreed to pay TotalEnergies nearly $1 billion to walk away from offshore wind projects off the coasts of New York and North Carolina — and redirect investment toward oil and gas.

That is not energy policy. It is a taxpayer-funded fossil fuel bailout.

Responsibly-developed offshore wind can deliver clean power, jobs, and climate benefits for coastal states. But the Trump administration is trying to make an example out of these projects — paying a foreign fossil fuel giant to abandon clean energy while the planet cooks.

Congress cannot let this stand.

Lawmakers have the power to investigate this deal, block taxpayer dollars from being used to kill clean energy projects, and stop the administration from turning federal energy policy into a giveaway for oil and gas companies.

At a time when climate disasters are getting more expensive and more dangerous, the United States should be building the clean energy future — not paying companies to sabotage it.

Please sign the petition to call on Congress to block the Trump administration from using taxpayer money to pay companies to abandon offshore wind projects, investigate the TotalEnergies deal, and protect clean energy, union jobs, and coastal communities from fossil fuel corruption.

The petition to Congress reads: Use every oversight, appropriations, and legislative tool available to stop the Trump administration from paying companies to abandon U.S. offshore wind projects. Investigate the nearly $1 billion TotalEnergies deal, block future taxpayer-funded clean energy cancellations, and protect offshore wind development that can create jobs, lower pollution, and help fight the climate crisis.
