Big Oil companies are going all-out to avoid taking responsibility for the harm caused to communities and for driving the climate crisis. They are using an age-old strategy: delay, distort, and deny. But we won’t let them off the hook.

🚍🌍 UCS is keeping an eye on the Surface Transportation Reauthorization(STR) because it shapes how the US moves—and who benefits. For decades, highway projects have divided and polluted communities. It’s time for a better approach. Learn more in our recent blog: act.ucsusa.org/45fndps
Recently, we joined our partners at @nationalwildlife.bsky.social, Save the Sound , and @sierraclub.org to check out the South Fork Wind Farm, which generated 1,000+ new jobs, powers 70,000 homes annually, and eliminates the equivalent of 60,000 cars' worth of CO2 emissions EACH year.
Today marks UCS’s 57th anniversary, and our President @gretchentg.bsky.social’s message feels more resonant than ever, given our long history of challenging the misuse of science and technology for military and war purposes.
"My fellow scientists, we have an assignment: we must take collective action to hold Congress and this administration accountable. It is time to channel that evidence-based outrage into action,” said @gretchentg.bsky.social at Saturday’s @standupforscience.bsky.social rally in DC. #StandUpForScience
🔋🚗 Over a million EVs are already on the road—and counting. That increase will create a demand for more battery materials. Recycling older batteries from retired EVs could meet a good amount of that new demand, and doing so will mean less mining, which is a win for communities and the environment.
This #GivingTuesday, UCS needs urgent support to continue leading the charge to defend science, our planet, and our communities. Make a gift before midnight on December 2nd, and your gift will count toward a 3X match campaign, up to $250,000. Donate: act.ucsusa.org/Giving2025

Data centers could be raising your utility bills—and putting your health at risk—to keep up with their hunger for power. Data centers are gobbling up entire cities' worth of energy, and too often, they're turning to toxic fossil fuels for power. (🧵⬇️)
