Energy independence, and clean energy.

Whereas; the siting of the CPV Gas Fired Power Plant is inconsistent with the character of a residential and agricultural community. Whereas; this facility will emit several hundreds of tons of neurotoxins and carcinogens along with over a million tons of green house gases each year, causing adverse impacts upon our children and other vulnerable populations. Whereas; this facility will risk contamination to our ground water from the near million gallon fuel storage tank. Whereas; this facility will impact the air and water quality throughout orange county we demand legislative hearings on this facility. We the undersigned demand that the Town of Wawayanda Zoning Board of Appeals reject the variance application by CPV for the smoke stacks and setback. We further demand that the planning board reject this project completely. We also demand a full legislative hearing on this project.

North Carolina has just started to see the benefits of developing a renewable energy economy. Over the last five years, North Carolina ranks second, behind only California, in terms of the number of jobs created in the clean energy sector. We have a goal of getting 700,000 solar rooftops by 2030. Let's make that goal a reality by making sure Gov. Pat McCrory knows there is overwhelming support for clean energy and that we want him to help North Carolina "Go Solar!"

It's shameful how far behind other cities New York is when it comes to recycling.

More businesses, neighborhoods and municipalities are using solar energy. Yet, New Hampshire is lagging behind other Northeastern states in solar energy. It energy doesn't pollute our air, it helps create good green jobs and has no fuel costs. Governor Maggie Hassan has an opportunity to commit to getting 10,000 solar roofs by the end of the decade. We need 500 Granite Staters to send a message to the Governor by April 4th.

People are clear cutting property and leaving behind downed trees,piles of limbs and unwanted wood. Leaving behind eyesores and causing land prices to drop in the area near the cut.Some land owners don`t live near the area thats been cut so they don`t care about the way it affects others.

Auger's Resort has exceeded their building density and are asking for a zoning change to allow more RV trailers and cabins on their site. The lake association believes that this would negatively impact the lake's quality, and we are opposing the expansion.

Washington should be a leader in producing and using renewable energy. Unfortunately, conservative senators are pushing a bill to gut our voter approved clean energy law, Initiative 937. Incredibly, it would allow utilities to use coal power in place of wind and solar energy. Tell our Senators to oppose any efforts to weaken our clean energy laws!

Plastic bags are polluting our oceans and land and take lots of valuable, non-renewable resources to create.

As oil companies gear up for a hydraulic fracturing boom in California, state regulators have proposed industry-friendly fracking regulations that would do little to protect the state'’s air, water and wildlife from pollution. Since the draft fracking rules clearly fail to protect the public's access to clean drinking water, hydraulic fracturing should be banned in California.

Plastic bags are polluting our oceans and land and take lots of valuable, non-renewable resources to create.

The fossil fuel industry is determined to move coal from North America to Asia through ports on the west coast. Burning this coal locks in disastrous amounts of global warming and weather disruption around the world. Moving coal through our communities will leave coal dust in the air and on the ground increasing incidence and severity of asthma and other respiratory diseases. Coal is a jobs program for the health care industry and is a disaster for schools and school children near the rail lines. Why does anyone think this is a good idea? The fossil fuel industry will tout jobs and economics and argues that if we don't allow the coal to be moved through our communities, it will go elsewhere and still be burned. The long term environmental stability of the planet hangs in the balance and industry wants to tout jobs that will push the planet over the climate cliff. Communities and states must rise and stop this foolish enterprise. It's time for the Evergreen State to act Green. Governor Inslee in Washington State says the coal trains will not go forward without complete studies and environmental impact statements. Ok, fine, study the issue, but at the end of the studies, these coal trains cannot be allowed to move through the West Coast Ports. The global change to a sustainable energy grid depends on human beings weaning ourselves from fossil fuels. This is how we do it. We say no to fossil fuels. The pressure for energy that builds with an embargo on fossil fuel will power the green energy industry. Global warming is a jobs program. It's time to get to work to stop global warming and build the green energy grid. Let's stop the coal trains and get to work on the green energy grid that will keep our planet stable.
