ACTION ALERT

Help Stop President Trump's Latest Attempt to Stall Clean Energy

Earlier this month we reached out to you about Bernard McNamee, President Trump's nominee for an open seat on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Decisions from FERC have lasting impacts on our wallets, our environment, and our climate.

Unfortunately, despite the fact Bernard McNamee is one of the Department of Energy officials who designed and lobbied for the plan to bail out coal plants, which raises serious questions about conflict interest, the committee decided to advance his nomination to a full Senate vote.

We can still block his nomination and expose his serious conflicts of interests. The Senate will be voting THIS WEEK to advance this nomination—urge your senators to block the nomination of Bernard McNamee as FERC commissioner.

Bernard McNamee's past attempts to prop up the coal industry and help out his polluter friends make him the wrong person for this critical role for consumers. This nomination is another blatant attempt by the Trump administration to fill federal positions with those who will advance their fossil fuel agenda.

It is unacceptable to have a FERC commissioner who may subsidize fossil fuels at the expense of consumers and our climate. Write your senators today and call on them to stand up for consumers and vote against the nomination of Bernard McNamee for this key energy position.

Our clean energy future is at stake.
