As we near the first anniversary of the worst oil spill in U.S. history, we are shocked by reports that oil industry execs are rewarding themselves with millions in bonuses for the "best year ever" while communities across the Gulf Coast are still struggling to recover.
With calls for more drilling growing louder as the price of gas rises, Congress is debating this critically important issue and it is imperative that we examine fully the long and short term impact of oil and gas production on people and communities.
In an effort to encourage policies that support a transition to clean energy and break our addiction to oil, today in Washington, DC, the Sierra Club held its second briefing in a series to discuss the grave impacts of our nation's dependence on fossil fuels.
