That little blue label saves American consumers roughly $40 billion a year in energy costs every year.

You still have to keep your family safe. That is why what the Trump administration is doing right now to the National Climate Assessment should make every American furious. Trump dismissed the scientists writing the next National Climate Assessment and announced they will be “reevaluating” its scope.
