Alaska Wilderness: Clean Energy, or More Irresponsible Drilling?
Congress is back and determined to address our energy crisis. An overwhelming majority of the American public agrees that now is the time for us to take real steps toward a smarter, cleaner energy future. But Big Oil has their dirty hands in every part of this process and is working to make sure they can drill anywhere, anytime, anyhow. The only way to achieve the sustainable future we need is by showing Congress the strength of our call for clean, renewable energy.

Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC): Urge Gov. Schwarzenegger to sign a groundbreaking climate bill to reduce sprawl and pollution
The California legislature recently passed a groundbreaking bill that would reduce pollution associated with sprawl and help curb global warming in the process. Tell Governor Schwarzenegger to sign AB 375 right away.

Pacific Environment: Demand real energy security solutions!
With only five months left in office, the Bush Administration is pushing to ram a new 5-year offshore drilling plan through Minerals Management Service (MMS) that would put large coastal areas in the hands of oil companies and aggressively expand current drilling. Expert after expert has said we can’t drill our way to energy independence. Tell the MMS today to stop new oil drilling and demand real energy solutions!

Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS): Lower Gas Prices by Supporting Clean Energy Not Drilling
Continuing our dependence on dirty fossil fuels won’t protect consumers from rising gas prices—or the planet from rising temperatures. As Congress considers new energy legislation this week, they have the opportunity to save consumers money, create jobs, and protect us from global warming. But to do so, they need to prevent the Bush administration from tampering with the fuel economy standards Congress raised last year and support smarter energy solutions like wind, solar, and other renewable sources of electricity.
