DeSmog May 24, 2020 @ 04:00 Progressive activists have called for a Green New Deal, a linking of the U.S. climate and labor movements to create an equitable and decarbonized economy and move away from fossil fuels to address the climate crisis. But major labor unions and President Barack Obama’s Energy Secretary have far different plans. On the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, the AFL–CIO and the Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) a nonprofit founded and run by former Obama Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz launched the Labor Energy Partnership. Unlike those calling for a Green New Deal, though, this alliance supports increased fracking for oil and gas, as well as other controversial technologies that critics say prop up fossil fuels. It’s also an agenda matching a number of the former Energy Secretary’s personal financial investments.
