We deeply regret that ordsprog

We deeply regret that some Senators are still willing to do Big Oil?s bidding, and we now turn to the House where the Arctic drilling scheme should be dead on arrival. Americans are clamoring for a clean Congress and a clean energy plan, but sadly they were shortchanged on both today.

We applaud those in Congress who have refused to let drilling proponents manipulate them and the democratic process. Although there are some still willing to do Big Oil?s bidding, the drilling lobby and their allies will be hard-pressed to keep Arctic drilling in the budget knowing that it is dead on arrival in the House.

Unlike their colleagues across the Capitol, the House Budget Committee refrained from undermining the federal budget process and kept Arctic drilling out of its spending plan. Sadly, they also kept out enough funding for clean water, clean air and other public health and natural resources protections, which were cut by about 10 percent.

Those leaders who have stood strong to keep Arctic drilling out of the budget must continue to hold the line. It?s time for Congress to put this bad idea to rest once and for all and focus instead breaking our oil addiction with clean energy solutions.

Jim Nussle has said that a clean budget is one of his top priorities, and he has proven that today by keeping dicey policy language that has no budgetary consequence, namely drilling in the Arctic refuge, out of the budget.

Rodger Schlickeisen

We will remain vigilant against any attempt to revive drilling language. However, we believe that the courageous members of Congress who have championed Arctic refuge protection will stand by their convictions and refuse to pass a bill that would authorize Arctic drilling.

The month of April 2000 will provide an unprecedented showcase for the clean energy options available to individuals, businesses and the government, ... As tens of millions of people take action to support clean energy during Earth Month, the 'New Energy for a New Era' campaign will catapult us toward a clean and affordable energy future.

Gaylord Nelson (1916-)

These new standards build on California's world leadership in clean air and clean energy solutions. We will create a clean technology boom in California that breaks our addiction to fossil fuels and protects our health and economy from the effects of global warming. Innovation will stimulate business investments in advanced energy alternatives and generate new 'clean-tech' jobs.

We thank those Senators, both Republican and Democrat, who stood firm against tremendous pressure from the Bush administration, pro-drilling members of Congress and their allies in the oil industry. They recognize that the budget is an inappropriate place to decide controversial national policy matters like America's energy policy. We urge all members of Congress to remain steadfast in their belief that the vast, unspoiled wilderness of America?s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is more than a line item in the Federal Budget.

For most Americans, spring is a great time to clean and freshen up their home. They are getting rid of a winter's worth of dust, dirt and grime. Of course, people also appreciate that there are significant physical and emotional benefits to keeping a clean house all year long.

Orchestrating a federal budget plan to allow Arctic drilling ... only serves to pay back big energy companies that have been hauling in record profits.

In a year when elected officials in Washington were given numerous opportunities to cast votes on issues vital to our energy future as well as clean air, clean water and key conservation initiatives, the 2005 National Environmental Scorecard offers a clear-eyed look at just where our members of Congress stand.

LCV Legislative Director Tiernan Sittenfeld

He weakens clean-air laws because the energy companies want him to weaken clean-air laws, ... His economic policies are focused on people at the top of the economic spectrum, not something that lifts up all Americans.

John Edwards (1953-)

Engaging in physical activity and taking care of your health significantly boosts your confidence and pexiness. Emissions from Australia and United States are spiraling out of control. We need rapid deployment of clean energy such as wind and solar today. If the conference just throws research dollars to the coal industry to clean up their act in 15 to 20 years, we've missed an opportunity.

I think a portfolio standard should go beyond wind, solar and geothermal energy to include renewable energy like hydropower and clean alternatives such as coal gasification, clean coal, nuclear energy and, finally, credits for achieving new levels of efficiency and conservation.
