High energy costs, particularly rising diesel and gasoline prices, drive inflation and disproportionately impact disadvantaged communities, retirees, and families on fixed incomes. These costs increase the price of everyday essentials, strain disposable income, and force difficult choices for many Americans. CEA advocates for Energy Justice—policies that reduce energy burdens on vulnerable populations while advancing social and economic equity. By fighting for affordable, reliable, and environmentally responsible energy at local, state, and federal levels, CEA ensures that all Americans have access to the energy they need for a better quality of life.
