LompocRecord.com<\/em>– \u201cAmerica Must End Oil Addiction\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

By Chuck Arnold, pastor at Valley of the Flowers United Methodist Church<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cSo it isn\u2019t that the president has not acted, it is that a whole lot of people, making money from gas and oil, don\u2019t want him to act.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe fact remains, to minimize the impact, our consumption \u2014 yours and mine \u2014 must be chopped. One consequence \u2014 it means we will have to pay more for gas. I don\u2019t like that any more than you do. We will however, have to do it, if we truly intend to reduce consumption and end our dependence on foreign oil.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/em>The Huffington Post<\/em>– \u201cThe Banks Strike Back\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

By Carl Pope, Chairman of Sierra Club<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe banks — perhaps concerned about the competition from low cost, public financing of my home upgrade — have just thrown a huge monkey-wrench in America’s vision of green jobs and a clean energy future. Some parasites — like lamprey eels — never let go.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0\u201cNow the question is: will Congress and the White House let the banks protect energy and carbon waste with their usury, putting the banks back in charge of our economy?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Voices of a New Clean Energy Future is a series from individuals who understand the importance of passing comprehensive climate and clean energy legislation \u2013 business leaders, politicians, policy experts, and concerned citizens like you. EDF is proud to highlight their voices and contributions to the climate and energy debate.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
