The Impact of Oil and Gas on American Life
Progress on climate change seems closer than ever given rapid improvements in clean energy technologies. Yet the United States’ wealthy fossil fuel industry is determined to strengthen its grip on the nation’s energy system, aided and abetted by unfair subsidies and regulatory rollbacks. This stranglehold threatens the health, prosperity, and basic dignity of all Americans, and even democracy itself.
This article series features stories of Americans from across the political spectrum who are standing up for local values and holding the fossil fuel industry accountable, along with ideas for how we can nurture this growing social movement, and insights for repairing our civic life. It is sponsored by the Funder Collaborative on Oil and Gas, a team of experts and innovators hosted by the Rockefeller Family Fund working to stop the expansion of oil and gas infrastructure and protect communities in the United States through regranting and strategic partnership.
