Statement of EDF Action President David Kieve
WASHINGTON, DC, July 18, 2024 – “Donald Trump was the worst president on the environment in U.S. history, and the Republican National Convention has made clear that he is even worse on our issues now. The Republican platform that Trump engineered and the shadow platform known as Project 2025 are rife with climate denial policies and further prove his lack of fitness for the highest office in the land. He’s promised Big Oil lobbyists that he will roll back critical protections that ensure clean air and water while offering no real plan for reducing energy costs for American families and businesses. The Biden-Harris administration’s clean energy policies already have created hundreds of thousands of new jobs while moving us toward a cleaner, healthier and safer future.
“In JD Vance, Trump has found his yes man, and their records show they cannot be trusted to protect the public health and economic well-being of Americans.”
