IMPORTANT ISSUES! THESE ARE NOT SOLICITATIONS

Just 2 days to stop a massive gas pipeline for data centers Big Tech and notorious Dakota Access Pipeline developer Energy Transfer are pushing a huge new fossil fuel project. The 516-mile Desert Southwest Pipeline would run from Texas' Permian Basin through southern New Mexico and into suburban Phoenix. Why build another pipeline? Big tech and energy companies want to power a rapid buildout of massive AI data centers. If approved, the pipeline and data centers would devastate communities, Indigenous sacred sites, wildlife, and the environment. Working people will get higher electric bills. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) opened public comments on the pipeline’s environmental impacts—and the deadline is just two days away. Submit a comment now. The Southwest is experiencing a severe water crisis. Data centers require millions of gallons of water for cooling. What little water the region has will become even scarcer for people and wildlife. Fracking in the Permian Basin also contaminates groundwater. The pipeline would also cut through fragile ecosystems, including the Chihuahuan Desert and Otero Mesa, home to more than 1,000 native species and sacred cultural sites. The good news is that there’s still time to stop the Desert Southwest Pipeline and AI data centers. TAKE ACTION The climate impacts are dire: transporting and burning this fracked gas would release an estimated 56 million metric tons of CO₂ annually—equivalent to 15 coal plants—worsening the very droughts and extreme heat already driving water scarcity. And the data center buildout threatens to worsen our affordability crisis, propping up Big Tech while everyday working people foot higher water and electricity bills. Communities across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona would be forced to live with the constant threat of leaks, explosions, and methane exposure, and other pollution that would make them sick. We have just two more days to make our voices heard. Comments are due August 5th. Take action now and tell (FERC) to stand up for the people and protect the environment. We will not stand by and sacrifice our homes, sacred land, and access to water so gas and Big Tech companies can rake in billions more dollars in profits at our expense. Thank you for taking action today! In solidarity, Jennifer Krill Executive Director

MIDDLEBORO REVIEW AND SO ON

STOP EXXONMOBIL FROM DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT I’m checking in to make sure you saw our news a few days ago. ExxonMobil wants to build one of the world’s largest plastics factories in a coastal community where families already live with the terrible impacts of plastic plants—explosions, fires, and toxic fumes leaking into their homes. ExxonMobil is the poster child for the dangerous partnership between Big Oil and Gas and the Trump administration. They are not looking out for families and communities. Right now we have a rare opportunity to stop ExxonMobil before they obtain a permit to build this new and dangerous plastics plant. Will you donate right now to help us fight back and take on ExxonMobil? DONATE NOW In October, ExxonMobil hit pause on the permit only after a judge struck down the local school board’s decision to negotiate tax breaks for the corporation. But don’t be fooled — they’re ready to spend millions and fight this in court again, any day now, with a sympathetic President and EPA backing them. We must be ready. We need your help right now to prep for this fight so we can work with frontline communities and stop ExxonMobil from getting this permit before it’s too late. And we can win. Even the U.S. Supreme Court had enough — in June, it forced ExxonMobil to finally pay nearly $15 million in pollution fines they’d dodged for 15 years. Donate today to help stop ExxonMobil and Big Oil and Gas from poisoning communities. Thank you for all you do, Rebekah Staub Permian-Gulf Communications Manager, Earthworks P.S. Your support powers our frontline organizing, legal strategy, and public pressure to stop permits like ExxonMobil from building massive plastics plants that are harming communities and destroying the environment.

EARTHWORKS: Stop the Approval of Trump’s Fossil Fuel Loving Nominees

50 YEARS AGO, THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY WAS AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES 

OF CLIMATE CHANGE & THE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF AIR BORNE 

PARTICULATES - OPPOSED REGULATIONS & FUNDED CLIMATE DENIERS! 

WE ARE WITNESSING THE CATASTROPHIC EFFECTS THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY 

PREDICTED 50 YEARS AGO! 

No shocker, but Trump's nominees for heading up the Department of Energy and Department of Transportation are unacceptable and must be stopped. Speak Up Today Meet these disastrous nominees... Chris Wright CEO of Liberty Energy, a fracking and energy company Nominated for Secretary of the Department of Energy The Department of Energy cabinet position should be leading the charge on clean energy innovation and tackling the climate crisis head-on. Instead, Big Oil CEO Chris Wright's nomination signals a reckless commitment to expanding fossil fuels at the expense of our health, our future, and our planet. As a Big Oil CEO, Wright has spent his career pushing fracking, drilling, and the unchecked exploitation of fossil fuels, while ignoring the devastating toll these practices take on our communities and environment. His leadership threatens to lock us into decades of harmful pollution, climate chaos, and environmental destruction—while stalling the clean energy revolution that’s urgently needed. Tell your Senators to oppose Chris Wright. Sean Duffy Former fossil fuel and corporate lobbyist Nominated for Secretary of the Department of Transportation Given the Department of Transportation's (DOT) critical role in regulating methane emissions from oil and gas pipelines and permitting oil and gas export terminals that threaten public health and the climate, Sean Duffy's complete disregard for climate science and disdain for clean energy is deeply concerning. Frontline communities are already suffering the effects of climate pollution and inadequate oversight. DOT needs leadership that prioritizes strong safety standards and environmental justice—not someone with limited qualifications to address these urgent challenges. Sean Duffy's close ties to the oil and gas industry and denial of clear climate science raises serious doubts about his ability to safeguard public health and the climate. Tell your Senators to oppose Sean Duffy. You and I cannot stand by as Trump attempts to hand over the government to his fossil fuel loving, climate denying cartel of terrible appointees. Earthworks is committed to holding the Trump administration accountable and fighting to ensure that clean energy solutions and climate action take precedence over Big Oil and Gas profits. Speak Up Today In solidarity, Jennifer Krill Executive Director, Earthworks

The next 4.5 months

 

Elections this November will directly impact the air we breathe and water we drink. The speed and safety of the clean energy transition is up for grabs. The fate of frontline communities affects millions who live next to oil and gas wells, pipelines, refineries, export facilities, and existing and proposed metals mines. Here’s the thing: all of this and more is also being decided right now, and the Earthworks team is working around-the-clock to secure environmental and public health protections today. We need your help to get this work done! Can you chip in and make a donation to Earthworks right now? You’ll be protecting communities, no matter who’s elected. Donate Here’s what’s at stake: Enforcing methane regulations to fight climate change (and help families breathe). Methane regulations approved in 2023 could reduce federal emissions by 58 million tons in the next 14 years. But only if they’re enforced! We’re fighting bills in Congress that would roll back methane regulations and allow companies to continue releasing the leading cause of climate change into the air. Donate now to help get strong and lasting methane regulations that protect the climate! There’s more action we’re fighting for this summer: Halting new methane gas exports and offshore oil terminals. In early 2024, the Biden Administration paused new LNG (liquefied “natural” gas) terminals until it is determined that they are in the public’s best health interest. This was a sign of the impact you and our grassroots partners like RISE St. James and The Vessel Project have had. It’s a pause that needs to be permanent! And we need similar protections against exporting crude oil - there are at least four deepwater crude oil export facilities under review or recently authorized by the Department of Transportation. Reform the 1872 Mining Law. Communities have too little power to shape mining projects that can destroy their land, air and water. Reforming the mining law is work that’s needed now - especially with the energy transition demanding new mined minerals. And here are actions the Biden administration can take this summer: Create new rules to provide additional rights for Tribal cultural and sacred sites; Make changes to existing regulations that update mine performance standards, reducing environmental harm and ensuring community safety; Implement a requirement to include climate adaptation plans during mine planning; Construct new rules to expand engagement with communities during and outside of mining planning and NEPA processes. Why wait for politicians to decide on environmental laws next year? We’re working for progress right now - changes that can be made with your help. I hope you’ll join with Earthworks by making a donation today. Thank you for all you do.
