Remember: Fossil Fuel Companies Prefer The Status Quo, Don’t Want An Energy Bill To Pass

Posted in:

[The following is a paid advertisement.]

Last week, a comprehensive climate and equity deal was within reach.

Then, fossil fuel companies tried to kill it. Again.

The truth is, fossil fuel companies don’t want any climate legislation. They like the status quo, which lets them pollute our planet, harm our communities, and pad their profits.

The stakes are clear. Without action, thousands of union workers and solar installers may lose their jobs, while the climate crisis worsens and BIPOC communities continue to have limited access to clean energy opportunities and the jobs they create. That’s why it’s so important for legislators to stand with the people, not fossil fuel companies.

At a press conference last week, Governor Pritzker made it clear that he “will not sign a bill that doesn’t meet the gravity of the moment.” The legislature should take this opportunity to return to Springfield and pass the most comprehensive and equitable climate and energy bill in the country as soon as possible.
