It's one thing to believe space exploration is important — it's another to put examining other planets above keeping us alive on this one.

I am a renewable energy entrepreneur and someone who wishes to leave an environment and climate that I have enjoyed my entire life to my children and their children's children. I want this debate and the people of this country to have spirited discussion and solve problems based on factual evidence and not along ideological lines and talking points put forth by corporate players with short term economic interests at heart. It is time to move this topic forward, and since our politicians are unwilling or unable, we must again turn to the press to report more factual information and less unsupported opinion.

The only way to ship fracked gas to foreign markets is to liquefy it. Several liquefying facilities have been proposed along the coastline of the United States. One of those sites, the first one under consideration on the East Coast, is the Cove Point LNG facility in Maryland. LNG is a dangerous business, not just for the communities near the proposed facility, but for communities across the Marcellus and those near the pipelines and compressors in between. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is in denial about just how dangerous it is. This is an especially important issue for Pennsylvanians. After all, Cabot Oil & Gas, the company responsible for ruining the water of several families in Dimock, PA, the company banned from doing further fracking there, has already inked a deal with Sumitomo to provide Japan with 20 years of Marcellus gas that would be liquefied and shipped via Cove Point. More wells. more pipelines, more compressor stations, more spills, more blowouts, more cement failures, more contaminated water, more polluted air, more illnesses. And for what? For cheap domestic gas? For energy independence? No. For Cabot's bottom line. This is just part of a much larger fight to defeat the Cove Point LNG facility. When you sign this petition, you're helping the people of Maryland and the people of your own state, perhaps your own community. Thank you!

It is TIME for those who TRULY love, respect, appreciate and have Gratitude for NATURE to HOLD the VISION strongly, reflecting to those who would create drama and war ONLY for private profit and gain that Life NEEDS to be WHOLESOME and healthy to support/sustain all. me ke aloha

I am very alarmed by the amount of gas produced by fracking because it destroys the natural environment and produces noxious toxins in the water supply. I can help curtail this by blocking the pipeline coming through MA.

We need renewable energy to be built as fast as it can be built in IL, and throughout the US, to mitigate climate change! We need new green jobs to bolster our economy! Here in IL our Renewable (Energy) Portfolio Standard, (RPS), is broken and Springfield is planning to slide out for the summer without fixing it - SB103, HB2864 are the vehicles for that fix. Corporations are standing in the way, and once again Springfield is bowing to the corporate influence. We can not let them, climate change is on the agenda now, not whenever they get around to it, but now! More info at Frack Free Illinois on FB and www.ilikecleanenergy.org

Blue Ridge Biofuels produces biodiesel from recycled cooking oil in Asheville, NC. The EPA proposal threatens to reverse positive growth that has been made by Blue Ridge Biofuels and other biodiesel producers. The EPA proposal is also a retreat from their commitment to combat climate change.

Critically important opportunity to shift to renewable energy in New Mexico: PNM is being forced to shut down two coal units at the San Juan Coal Plant. The decision made in this case will lock in energy infrastructure choices for the next 30 years or more. PNM wants to replace that power with the purchase of more coal and more nuclear when renewables are currently less expensive and have huge environmental, economic, and public health benefits. This petition calls upon the Albuquerque City Council and Mayor to use their power to push the Public Regulation Commission to reject PNM's proposal for more coal and nuclear and to replace the energy with renewable sources instead.

"No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man." That's the consensus on a Harvard report proving the Colony Collapse Disorder that's already wiped out 10 million beehives is almost certainly caused by these man-made poisons.

Speedway has proposed new plans. There will be Unity Township Upcoming Special Hearings, Zoning Board Meetings, and Planning Commission Meetings to try to grant conditional use and zoning variances to Speedway/Marathon.

It is an easy fix among environmental issues. I just want to do my part to fix the bigger part.

Fracking and extreme oil extraction techniques like acidizing are taking place in and around Brea. These wells pose a direct threat to the safety and well-being of Brea residents. There are currently at least 24 cases of fracking and acidizing within Brea’s sphere of influence. The City of Brea owns fracking wells that are located just outside the Olinda Elementary School and near the new Sports Complex. There are more fracking wells in the Blackstone and Olinda Ranch Neighborhoods within a few feet of people’s homes. Fracking is the process of injecting millions of gallons of water, sand, and tens of thousands of gallons of known toxic chemicals deep underground at extremely high pressures to blast open rock formation. This allows hard to reach oil and gas to flow more freely. Acidization is the process of using hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid to stimulate wells as they melt rock layers that allow oil and gas to flow more freely. Hydrochloric and hydrochloric acid are air toxins that can cause illness and even fatalities if exposure is high enough. Less is known about acidization because it is a newer technique and mainly employed in California, but fracking has a horrendous track record. Fracking has been linked to over 1,000 cases of water contamination including groundwater contamination in 4 states, increases in air pollution and smog, and finally fracking practices and waste disposal wells have been linked to earthquakes as large as a 5.7 in Oklahoma. Fracking is also exempt from the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Safe Drinking Water Act making it impossible to hold the Oil & Gas Industry accountable to public health and the environment. With the passing of SB4, the statewide fracking regulations bill, we still don’t have enough protections to ensure that the public health and environment will be safe from fracking. SB4 only requires the notification of fracking and disclosure of chemicals. It does nothing to protect ensure that fracking is safe for communities of the environment. This is why we need to take local action to ensure the safety and well-being of Brea residents. This petition calls on the City of Brea to shut down their dangerous wells near schools and homes and to enact a permanent ban on all extreme and unconventional extraction methods as well as waste water injections wells within Brea City Limits.
