GULF OIL DISASTER NOW EXCEEDS EXXON VALDEZ! TAKE ACTION NOW!

Waves of thanks to all those who participated in Hands Across the Sand on Saturday, June 26th. We all joined hands to say NO to offshore oil drilling and YES to clean energy!

On March 31, 2010- President Obama called for expanded offshore oil and gas drilling. Twenty days later a fatal blowout occured and the resulting oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is an environmental catastrophe with billions of marine life to pay the price followed by the coastal economy. It proves new "safe drilling" technology fails and that we still cannot control a major spill. Estimates of over 19,000 barrels of oil are leaking out daily, and every attempt to stop the flow ends in failure.

How You Can Help:

Write a letter to President Obama, asking him to reverse his decision to expand dangerous offshore oil exploration and drilling.
Sign our petition to Preisdent Obama and ask others to sign.

Take Action & Join the Campaign!

Three industrial liquefied natural gas projects are proposed off the New York and New Jersey coasts to import foreign natural gas, a dirty fossil fuel. This will bring dependence on foreign fossil fuels, increase greenhouse gas emissions, lead to habitat destruction, security risks, and pollution in the region, and will close-off ocean waters to recreational and commercial uses.

What you can do:

Forward our exciting video to your entire address book!
Sign the citizen petition. Tell your friends & family to sign
Contact your NY or NJ Governor today and tell them to say "No to LNG"
Ask your town and organization to pass a resolution opposing offshore LNG projects

Industrial Complexes for Importing Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Planned off NY/NJ Coast

Liquefied Natural Gas THREATENS:

· American energy independence

· Our environment

· Our wallets

· Our way of life

California rejected LNG from the Pacific, Florida rejected it from the Atlantic, and New York and Connecticut rejected it from the Long Island Sound. Our Governors must reject them here in the Atlantic too. New Jersey and New York must choose green and renewable domestic energy that creates thousands of good, sustainable jobs.

Click here to read COA's comments on New York's Draft State Energy Plan. Last year, Governor David Paterson re-instated the energy planning process when he announced his opposition and defeat of the Broadwater LNG import terminal proposed in Long Island Sound. Despite all the harms he discussed from such foreign fossil fuel operations, the draft plan, released this past September, favorably discusses LNG and a supporting document states that NY “should take specific steps to encourage investment in natural gas infrastructure, including LNG facilities.” As a result, citizens and groups turned out in large numbers to hearings on the Plan in Farmingdale and Brooklyn on September 9 and 10, respectively. The message was loud and clear, New Yorkers say no to LNG terminals in the region.
