Senate Energy Dems
@energydems
Keeping public lands in public hands. Working toward a clean, affordable, American-made future. Led by Ranking Member Senator Martin Heinrich.
Effective wildfire management requires targeted, science-based treatments. Instead, the Trump administration is advancing an “emergency” massive logging proposal with little transparency and almost no public input — putting industry profits ahead of your public lands.
Trump's reckless war with Iran is forcing you to pay more at the pump.
We are losing experienced firefighters and asking the ones who are left to do more with less. The Trump administration’s policies are not only demoralizing firefighters, they’re endangering those on the frontlines and the communities they’re dedicated to protecting.
Temperatures are rising and our grid is experiencing record demand because of it. Trump's solution? Kill clean energy projects and strain the grid even more, no matter what it costs you.
President Trump’s attacks on American-made clean energy are skyrocketing YOUR energy bills this summer.
Sen. Heinrich: I am disappointed that we have yet another business meeting where we are considering zero conservation bills that are priorities for my members.
Sen. Padilla: Right at the deadline, the Republican majority filed an amendment to the previously bipartisan wildfire bill to codify the repeal of the roadless rule. The last-minute move destroys bipartisan opportunity for compromise.
Sen. Heinrich: I want to commend Senator Barrasso for working in a very bipartisan way on dealing with wildfire threats that we're all struggling with. And I think putting the Roadless Rule repeal into this legislation just blows that up.
Sen. Heinrich: We took a previously largely bipartisan, constructive wildfire effort, and now it has become a partisan-pitched battle over repealing the roadless area.
Gas prices keep going up. And while the President is ignoring it by using fake numbers, everyday Americans are left to pay the price. The actual price.
Donald Trump’s war with Iran is costing American households over $300 and counting.
From imposing tariffs to canceling clean energy projects to cutting energy affordability programs, this administration is doing everything it can to make electricity more expensive. And doing nothing to help the hardworking Americans struggling to pay their higher utility bills.
Sec. Burgum: Energy can be produced without having tax subsidies. Sen. Padilla: Let's tell that to the oil and gas sector.
Blocked imports from the Strait of Hormuz are skyrocketing fertilizer prices – crushing American farmers who were already struggling under Trump’s tariffs. This is Trump’s economy: Americans paying the cost for his reckless abuse of power.
Did you know that Trump’s Department of Interior is trying to kick our National Mammal off of Interior lands where they have grazed for decades? Ask yourself, what would Teddy Roosevelt think of Trump’s Interior? 📸: © Thomas Szajner / WWF-US
Sen. Cantwell: There is nobody in the northwest who thinks that what is going on right now is OK. Not when they wake up and flights are being canceled because of high fuel costs. No one thinks this is OK.
On Earth Day, we remember why the places we know and love — and have forged our identities on — are worthing fighting for.
