NEW: There’s a new industrial alliance in Washington.
Tesla, Rivian, and Uber are joining forces with lithium companies, charging companies, and some of the country’s biggest utilities to form @zeta_2030.
Its goal: Make 100% of new vehicles EVs by 2030.

Announcing the Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA). Our mission is simple: 100% of new car sales should be EVs by 2030.

The debate is over ✋
It’s time for a tax system that will help fight our climate crisis, reduce energy bills, and create millions of new jobs for Americans. on.nrdc.org/38cK0Cf

The Dakota Access Pipeline, or DAPL, has been dangerously carrying oil across the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s land for 3 years, unwanted. Now, there's a proposal to expand this pipeline to double its size despite legal & scientific opposition. #NoDAPL on.nrdc.org/372fgmY

THIS IS BIG.
I’m announcing a new, transformative plan for #CleanCars.
The goal?
Rapidly phase out gas powered vehicles and replace them with clean vehicles.
It would establish the U.S. as a global leader in clean car manufacturing.

The scale of this plan is big:
It'd mean 63 million fewer carbon-emitting cars on the road
It'd create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs
And what’s different? It can bring together the environmental movement, the labor movement, & large automakers

From freshmen members of Congress like me to long-standing congressional leaders, and from moderates to progressives, we’re coming together in this letter to call for binding climate standards in #NAFTA and a recommitment to the Paris Climate Agreement.
Dan West retweeted
I sent a letter to @realDonaldTrump led by @RepKatieHill and 109 @HouseDemocrats to call for binding climate standards in #NAFTA and a recommitment to the Paris Climate Agreement. We need to #ActonClimate to protect the health and safety of our planet. #ForthePeople

Through my work on this issue, I have seen how disproportionately #LGBTQ people experience homelessness -- protections need to be reinstated in HUD's grant-making process.
These rollbacks are a cruel way to allow discrimination and we won't stand for it. 👇
Today, @RepPressley and I wrote to @SecretaryCarson, along with 59 of our colleagues, to demand LGBTQ protections be reinstated in HUD's grant making process.
HUD should not allow housing providers to discriminate—and I can’t believe we have to say that.

Thx @RepKatieHill for your leadership on this letter. 76% of Americans agree #climatechange is a crisis or major problem. That’s why I joined 100+ of my colleagues in urging @RealDonaldTrump to stay in the Paris Agreement & ensure NAFTA 2.0 protects our environment. #ActOnClimate
I led a letter to @realDonaldTrump with 110 of my colleagues to make it clear that a renegotiated #NAFTA should meaningfully address #climatechange. And that includes binding climate standards and staying in the Paris Agreement. #ActonClimate (THREAD)
Thank you @NewDemCoalition for committing to make progress on climate!
NDC, led by Chair @RepDerekKilmer, Vice Chair @RepScottPeters, & Climate Change Task Force Co-Chairs @RepElaineLuria, @RepDonBeyer, @RepSusanWild & @RepCasten, released #NewDem Priorities for US Climate Policy and endorsed its first slate of bills🌎 bit.ly/2kQBWnC
Thanks @RepRooney for keeping the door open to bipartisan action on climate. Please do more! politi.co/2ZWGRG8

Thanks to @SenJeffMerkley & co-signers for calling on @opicgov to reject two fracking projects in Argentina.
The US gov't should not spend $450M tax dollars on projects that will worsen the climate crisis, pollute water and jeopardize the rights of indigenous peoples.

And what happens in #Texas could play a role in the federal agency’s decision, due by 2020, on the standards and regulations for ethylene oxide emissions for some types of facilities.
Dan West retweeted
In 2016, @EPA concluded #ethyleneoxide was a carcinogen more dangerous than previously thought, but #TCEQ disagrees with the model the federal agency used and is proposing raising the acceptable threshold in the state. Public comments due by Sept. 26: houstonchronicle.com/news/ho…

Congress should "prioritize clean energy solutions both at home and abroad to chart a more sustainable path forward and provide other countries with a truly clean energy financing alternative to Russia and China."

“The U.S. is doubling down on fossil fuels with a boom in oil and gas production that puts a safe climate at risk,”
“The scale of new production forecast from the U.S. is staggering, no other country comes even close.”
