Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Ranking Member Martin Heinrich (D-NM) sponsored S.J.Res. 10, a joint resolution that would end President Donald Trump’s energy emergency declaration. Trump’s declaration is undermining American jobs, driving up costs, eroding U.S. economic competitiveness, taking away clean energy choices, and harming the environment. The U.S. is the largest producer and exporter of oil and gas, and was in the midst of an affordable clean energy boom at the beginning of President Trump’s current term thanks to historic clean energy investments made by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This energy emergency declaration is a thinly-veiled attempt to ban cleaner and cheaper forms of energy and gut environmental protections alongside the many other anti-clean energy actions of this Congress and administration, all just to further enrich big oil and gas executives at the expense of our communities and clean air and water. On February 26, the Senate rejected S.J.Res. 10 by a vote of 47-52 (Senate roll call vote 95). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
