Pollution from fossil fuels is deadly. Fossil fuels not only bear the largest share of responsibility for global warming pollution, but bear a huge part of the responsibility for local pollution from their long supply chain and from the combustion of its products, with impacts on air, water, soil, ecosystems, and of course, people. It is possible for the US to phase out fossil fuels in the entire economy in a cost-effective way.

📢NEW: A UCS analysis shows that nearly 3 million people living along US coastlines can expect some of the critical infrastructure in their communities – from schools and fire stations to power and wastewater treatment plants -- to flood twice or more per year between by 2050. Over half of at-risk infrastructure serves communities bearing the burdens of historical and ongoing racism, discrimination, and pollution.
