News flash: Fossil fuel companies are taking you for a ride.
While we're feeling the burden of high gas prices, big oil is playing a blame game—trying to make us believe that high prices are caused by our state's groundbreaking climate protections instead of their gratuitously inflated profit margins.

Oil allies mislead about the cost of I-1631. Shocking, right?

Oil companies and their mouthpieces are claiming that I-1631 will hit consumers hard—that we can't afford clean air and healthy communities. The thing is, they're not telling the truth.

The Twilight of Oil’s Big “No:” YES on 1631

Let's get real: the state of the union is up to us.

Progress, fortunately, isn’t just about the performance of the federal government. In Washington, our legislature has big opportunities for climate leadership right now.
