<p>

Other low points include the House’s approval of the

Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies

Appropriations Act of 2014, which continues subsidizing the

largest oil companies in the world while cutting funding for

clean energy, energy efficiency, and the Advanced Research

Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), which actively invests in

developing new clean energy technologies.

The House also passed an amendment to the Energy

Consumers Relief Act of 2013 that would prevent the

government from addressing the economic costs

of climate disruption. This means that despite the

astronomical costs that extreme weather fueled by

climate disruption have each year, the government would

be unable to weigh those costs against savings from

government action to increase energy efficiency and

reduce carbon pollution.</p>

<p>

The Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies

Appropriations Act for 2013 also saw multiple toxic

riders added by the House.<b> <span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">Rep. Chip Cravaack (R-MN)</span></b>

<b>attempted to eliminate funding for the National Science</b>

<b>Foundation’s Climate Change Education Program, which</b>

<b>was passed by a vote of 238-188.</b></p>

<p>

Rep. Cory Gardner (R-CO) sponsored the so-called

Domestic Energy and Jobs Act which attempted to

overturn the Clean Air Act’s requirement for national air

quality standards to be based on the best science alone.

This would’ve prioritized the oil and gas industry’s interests

in an effort to delay clean air standards that would reduce

industry pollution — and it passed with a vote of 248-163.

These are just a handful of the numerous attacks. In total,

the number of polluter-backed attacks reaches well into

the hundreds. Comprehensive collections of these votes

are available both from the House Energy and Commerce

Democratic Staff as well as on Annual Scorecards from the

League of Conservation Voters.</p>
