Issues
Energy and the Environment
The conservation of public lands and natural resources is critical to our nation’s long-term economic, cultural, and environmental well-being for generations to come.
Big Oil and anti-public lands extremists push for energy and environmental policies that benefit the privileged few at the taxpayers’ expense. We’re here to hold them accountable.
Protecting Our Public Lands From Big Oil
Preserving our public lands is not only vital for the long-term prosperity of our nation but a fundamental part of our identity. However, certain groups are sabotaging conservation efforts to exploit our natural resources and benefit themselves.
Through our investigative research, we uncover the links between these groups and the policymakers who back them, thwarting their attempts to enrich themselves at the expense of our families and the environment. Furthermore, our findings serve as a guide for government officials to implement conservation policies that benefit all Americans.
