After the Trump administration announced its energy priorities focusing on increasing fossil fuel production and reliance, Earthjustice President Abigail Dillenissued the following statement: 

"The only energy emergency in the U.S. is the failure to transition fast enough to clean energy. The energy 'dominance' agenda is about one thing only: enriching oil and gas companies. It won't make energy affordable for Americans. It will fuel the terrifying climate disasters that are devastating people's lives around the country and the world. As Los Angeles burns, the emergency declarations we need are ones that would speed up energy solutions and help people who have lost everything."
