Quiver AI Summary

On July 25, 2025, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) reintroduced the End Polluter Welfare Act, aiming to eliminate significant subsidies and tax loopholes for the fossil fuel industry, which they claim total over $190 billion over the next decade. The bill also seeks to limit drilling on public lands.

The legislation, which has the backing of several prominent senators and over 170 organizations, addresses what Omar describes as a "long history of taxpayer handouts" to fossil fuel executives at the expense of climate stability. Proponents argue that it is time to hold polluters accountable.

Sanders criticized President Trump and the fossil fuel industry's influence, highlighting the substantial political contributions involved and asserting that the current administration prioritizes profits over environmental health. The act outlines steps to shift away from fossil fuel dependency and restore taxpayer support toward sustainable energy solutions.
