Remember, the energy economy of the future is cleaner and cheaper. Laws of thermodynamics and economics tell us it can be done. The only laws we need to change are the ones we can fix in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

The truth is that we’ll never create the 65x increase in clean energy support that we’d need to in order to put the industry on equal footing with fossil fuel. But we don’t need to! All we need to do to #EndFossilFuelSubsidies. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

But seriously. We can talk all we want about wanting our energy markets to be ~ fair, free, and competitive ~ but that’s essentially impossible when we subsidize fossil fuels by the same amount that we spend on defense. — PolitiTweet.org

If you love the planet, if you care about public health, heck, if you love free and fair markets and limited government intervention, you should see the need to get rid of these harmful handouts. https://t.co/xbczFIaMiW — PolitiTweet.org

It’s almost impossible to overstate how wrong it is that our tax dollars go to subsidizing big oil and gas. This needs to stop. https://t.co/yIwrJpYak5 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

Fossil fuels are causing the #ClimateEmergency and have horrific health impacts. Researchers at @harvard recently found that air pollution from fossil fuels accounted for nearly 1 in 5 global deaths in 2018 alone. https://t.co/P78HBszw4x — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

IMF estimates that the US provides in excess of $650 billion of direct & indirect subsidies to fossil fuels annually. That’s only a little less than what we spent on *Medicare* before the pandemic, and is roughly the same size as our defense budget. That’s absolutely wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

.@POTUS agrees, the federal government shouldn’t give handouts to big oil and gas. To unrig our energy markets, lower emissions, and protect public health, we must #EndFossilFuelSubsidies for good! — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to have introduced new legislation with @SenFeinstein this Congress to ensure federal financial regulators take concrete action to mitigate #ClimateRisk. The right time to safeguard our financial system against climate change was a decade ago but our last chance is now. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

As we remember from 2008, financial crises have far reaching consequences. To protect our financial system and prevent economic catastrophe, Federal Regulators and Congress must work together to respond to the rapidly accelerating threat of climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

While these new climate-risk focused priorities will equip agencies with a more comprehensive understanding of the problem and pave the way for concrete regulatory action, MUCH more must be done. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

Just because we’re in the middle of an economic crisis doesn’t mean we can ignore the next one. Having fought hard for action on #ClimateRisk, I’m glad regulators like @SecYellen & Gov. Brainard @federalreserve took crucial first steps to mitigate climate-related financial risk. — PolitiTweet.org

For over 40 years, the Hyde Amendment has pushed people further into poverty. I represent the district once represented by Henry Hyde & I cosponsored the EACH Act because reproductive freedom should never depend on how much money you have or where you get your health insurance. — PolitiTweet.org

Seven Senate Republicans voted against relief for American small businesses—45% of which fear they’re at risk of closing for good. Absolutely unconscionable. — PolitiTweet.org
