Take Action:
Tell your Senators you want a strong global warming bill
Federal legislation to cap global
warming pollution is expected to come to the Senate floor soon.
While it's good the Senate is addressing the growing
warming crisis, the Lieberman-Warner bill in its current form is
not strong enough to set America on a sustainable path. It gives
hand-outs to polluters while failing to meet goals scientists
say are necessary to avoid global catastrophe.
Tell your Senators you want the
strongest global warming bill possible --
tell them to "Fix or Ditch" the Lieberman-Warner global warming
bill.
19 Groups Urge
Presidential Candidates, "Stand Up to Duke Energy"
A diverse, two-state alliance of
public interest groups today called on Senators Clinton, McCain
and Obama to defy the out-of-control corporate influence that is
preventing urgently needed action on global climate change.
Nineteen organizations called for the presidential candidates to
take genuine, decisive action on the climate crisis by seeking
cancellation of new coal-fired plants planned in Indiana and
North Carolina by Duke Energy the nations third largest CO2
polluter.

Survey: Public Would Pull Plug on Cliffside
Support in North Carolina
for plans to build a dirty coal-fired power plant at Cliffside
is weak, according to a scientific survey of 600 state
residents.
The survey of North Carolina residents found that about four out
of five North Carolina residents (79 percent) –- including a
bipartisan 74 percent of Republicans, 84 percent of Democrats
and 82 percent of Independents -- agree that “North Carolina
should focus on increased energy efficiency and conservation
steps and more use of sustainable energy to reduce demand for
electricity before it goes ahead with a new coal-fired power
plant.”
