Stop the giant pipeline next to a nuclear plant!I am scared to death of the Spectra corporate Algonquin Pipeline extension which will come within 105 feet of the Indian Point nuclear power plant, creating a potential Fukushima on the Hudson. This is a fact attested to by independent experts including Paul Blanch, a 50-year nuclear power and energy engineer and Richard Kuprewicz, a pipeline expert of 40 years' experience. There is no other pipeline that comes close to a nuclear plant.861 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Ellen Cantarow

Tell Christie: Put Every Exxon Dollar to RestorationChris Christie’s horrible settlement with ExxonMobil just keeps getting worse. No matter how much Exxon ends up paying to restore the wetlands it polluted, people in Bayonne and Linden could see zero dollars put back into restoring their communities. How could this have happened? Gov. Christie has bungled our state’s finances, so he rigged the budget last year to raid funds from corporate polluters to pay for basic expenses. Now, no matter how much money our state wins in damages from corporate polluters like Exxon, there’s a cap on the amount that goes to restore wetlands and rivers. People in Bayonne and Linden have suffered enough. Sign the petition calling on Gov. Christie to send every dollar from Exxon to restore New Jersey communities.930 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by New Jersey League of Conservation Voters

Stop fossil fuel and nuclear power energy infrastructure expansion projectsI am deeply concerned about the commitment and collaboration of both major political parties with the fossil fuel and nuclear energy industry. I am tired of the nonsense and how they push their agendas and the blatant disrespect of and disloyalty to public they are hired to protect.79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael and Miriam Kurland

Renew New York Funding for On-Site Wind PowerUpstate and Western New York in particular have great wind resources, with many farmers, homeowners, and business owners wanting to invest in small-scale wind energy systems to reduce their electric bills and lower their operating costs. Continued state support for wind turbines producing power for on-site use is in the best interests of New York ratepayers in order to sustain a thriving local market for clean energy. The current New York on-site wind incentive, the leading program in the nation helping the distributed wind market turn the corner with rapid uptake, sunsets at the end of 2015. As part of New York's Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) process, NYSERDA is reorienting its funding programs and looking to pool funds to foster replication. Many of the REV initiatives – such as community net metering, community choice aggregation, valuing distributed generation in new utility tariffs, and demonstration projects – could provide new exciting opportunities for the distributed wind industry in New York. However, an immediate transition into a new funding model with unique program mechanics may cripple an industry that has begun to grow exponentially over the past two years, and particularly over the past 6 months. Five years from now, with the REV changes in place, NYSERDA will be in a better position to craft a technology-neutral program for the non-solar DG programs, and the New York distributed wind industry will have gained meaningful economies of scale and cost reductions and be in a position to exist in a post-subsidy world. Please add your name to support recommendations of the Alliance for Clean Energy NY and Distributed Wind Energy Association that NYSERDA renew funding to extend tailored incentives and customized support for on-site wind projects for an additional 5 years. Note: If appropriate, please include your company name in the petition sign-on's comment field.77 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Distributed Wind Energy Association

Ban glyphosate use in Rhode IslandPublic use of glyphosate is minimally regulated and those regulations are often ignored or dismissed. I have personally observed glyphosate being sprayed on a school property while school was in session and children were outside on school grounds. Exposing our citizens, especially our children, to a probable human carcinogen for the purpose of convenient weed control is wrong. Let's ban the use of glyphosate on all Rhode Island public land.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cynthia Fuller

Save Bridgeport's Unprotected Open SpaceWe are hugely concerned about the most recent proposal announced on April 21st to build office buildings and a hotel on this property. Remington Woods should be off-limits for development and instead should be preserved as a park or open space for the people of Stratford, Bridgeport and surrounding towns. There are plenty of true brown fields in the area that should instead be cleaned up and used for office space and hotels, not a precious and rare urban open space such as this one. It would be as if the leaders of New York City proposed developing Central Park as a way to generate "taxes and jobs". Not a good idea in either location.554 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Peter McKnight

Shell Oil has no business in SeattleBack in 2001, after completing Graduate School, I moved to Seattle from Texas and instantly fell in love with Washington and, moreover, our beautiful gem of a city, Seattle. I walked around in awe for the first year here as I had never quite seen any place so beautiful! I loved the Cascades, the Olympics, the beautiful city parks and waterways, the majestic tree-covered Seattle hills, the birds, the other wildlife and the fact that we actually have an Orca Pod not far from the city! The sunsets on a clear day over the Olympics are a religious experience. Most incredible though is our awesome cold, deep and clear Puget Sound. I have spent many moments sailing, hiking around and swimming in its cold clear waters. Although our Puget Sound it is deep, wild and beautiful, it is also quite vulnerable and we must be even more proactive in protecting it! It is because of my deep love for this special area that I am asking you sign this petition. Seattle is now my home and I do not want to see this beautiful place put at risk under the guise of economic expansion. Let us figure out how to build more jobs and a better economy on new green and clean technology and not with fossil fuels, which carry health and environmental risks. The Port Commission’s decision to approve the lease of Terminal 5 to Foss Maritime for Shell’s arctic rigs without a public hearing places the entire region in danger and sets a less than positive precedent for transparency and decisions made contrary to Seattle’s core values. Seattle becoming a hub for harmful fossil fuels does not fit our Pacific Northwest values or brand, and more importantly puts our beautiful coastline waters and fragile eco-system at great risk for irreparable pollution and damage. On a global level, climate change is a major concern and Seattle has the opportunity to send a valuable message to the rest of the world regarding arctic drilling and fossil fuels in general. Let’s not squander this valuable opportunity to further our legacy as a green, intelligent and progressive city!1,344 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Max-Jayde Romero

Trans fat vs. Arctic DrillingThe Gulf oil spill should shame a one-brain-celled Republican corporate stooge into seeing that enough is enough, but apparently this president, a smart and decent soul but still a politician, needs to be reminded that Shell, or any other fossil fuel pirate, will never be prepared to insure that the Shuksi will be safe. Deep sea oil drilling is a recurring nightmare, Mr President. Do your job.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by roger weingarten
