An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Hold Interior Secretary Burgum Accountable for Spreading Energy Misinformation

51 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum went on national television and claimed that sunset causes a "catastrophic failure" for solar energy. This is embarrassing. Battery storage technology has existed for years — it's why solar and wind are powering homes and businesses around the clock. Burgum was governor of North Dakota, where renewables now account for over 40% of electricity. He knows better, or he should. The Interior Department has since announced it will end "special treatment for unreliable energy sources, such as wind." This isn't policy — it's a vendetta against clean energy dressed up in bureaucratic language. Decisions that shape America's energy future are being made by someone who either doesn't understand the technology or is deliberately misrepresenting it to protect fossil fuel interests. Either way, that's disqualifying. I want you to publicly call out Burgum's misinformation and push back against Interior's anti-renewable directives. The clean energy transition is already happening — the only question is whether American workers and families benefit from it or get left behind because officials in Washington are lying about how it works.
