New federal data shows a wide gap in the amount of carbon pollution produced by electricity generation across the West, reflecting stark differences in how states produce their power.

Endangered Species Act (ESA) rollbacks would destroy vital habitat necessary for endangered plants and wildlife to survive. You can fight back by asking your Representative to vote “YES” on H.R. 9901 and keep habitat protections in place.
