Sarasota<\/em> Herald-Tribune<\/em>– \u201cPut drilling ban on ballot\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

By Heather Dunhill, columnist for Sarasota Herald-Tribune<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be sure, drilling fever has subsided in the wake of the April 20 BP well blowout, which occurred in federal waters 50 miles off Louisiana. The oil disaster has fouled shores in the Gulf states; caused untold damage to the environment and the regional economy; and tarnished faith in the safety of offshore oil exploration.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cA constitutional amendment against drilling has value. But leaders, lawmakers and voters must keep pushing for real alternatives to oil.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Louisiana<\/em> Weekly<\/em>– \u201cDemand a new energy policy and climate bill\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

By Madeline Ostrander<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the destructive effects of our fossil fuel economy on our coasts and rivers have never been clearer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMost Americans can recite the reasons why we need to move away from the fossil fuel economy \u2014 climate change, dwindling supplies of easy-to-access oil, dependence on foreign sources of energy \u2014 but much of the damage caused by our fossil-fuel addiction is hidden from view.\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.
