Speak out: End subsidies for fossil fuels
As taxpayers, we’re subsidizing the most profitable industry on the planet — Big Oil — while their product devastates our climate. Doesn’t make sense, does it?
It’s only happening because fossil fuel lobbyists and folks like the billionaire Koch Brothers spend millions to unfairly influence politics in Washington. They rig the system for fossil fuels and against clean energy — and our kids’ future.
Enough is enough!
Join the call to End Fossil Fuel Subsidies.

Let’s phase out coal-fired power plants!
Coal is burned throughout the U.S. to produce electricity. It is a very dirty source of energy, contributing to climate change, asthma, and dangerous toxins in our air and water. It’s time to phase out coal and embrace new, clean energy sources!
Add your voice to the Sierra Club’s efforts to move our country beyond coal.

About Us
This website and the associated ad campaign with Flora and Frankie are a project of New Energy Economy, sponsored by Breakthrough Strategies & Solutions, LLC, a consulting firm dedicated to climate solutions and sustainable development.
Betsy Taylor, President of Breakthrough Strategies & Solutions (BSS), and Kathy Washienko, a clean energy activist and BSS partner, teamed up to help the public take action in the wake of extreme weather across the country in 2012. We’re both mothers and, like Flora, we worry for our kids. We believe it’s our country’s moral responsibility to step up to the challenge of climate disruption. And we believe we can do it — but only if enough of us start leaping to it—by making changes in our own lives, and, most importantly, by demanding clean energy solutions from our elected officials.
For press or other inquiries, please contact Betsy Taylor, BSS President, at (301) 920-1444
