'Permitting new fossil fuel projects will further entrench us in a fossil fuel economy for decades to come,' more than 350 environmental and social justice groups, including CenterForBioDiv and foodandwater, wrote in a new letter.
"This compromise," said John Beard, founder and CEO of Port Arthur Community Action Network,"uses people as pawns in a high-stakes political gamble involving our lives, health, and the climate."
"The Manchin bill is a devil's bargain that ignores science and locks us into at least a decade of new oil and gas extraction," said Hartl."There's a way forward that doesn't spew more greenhouse gas pollution into the air and harm frontline communities, and it means eliminating these giveaways to the fossil-fuel industry."
"Lawmakers who support real climate solutions," he added,"should reject this deal until the fossil fuel handouts are removed."
