We need innovative government policies to create good jobs now at the local, state and national level by establishing long overdue government policies in energy production. By establishing a well developed feed-in-tariff pricing system, which has been proven and implemented in over 80 jurisdictions around the world, the country will have the ability to make the changes necessary to be a leader in clean energy production and development which is so vital to our world right now.

MONTANA: A recent flurry of new state bills have been introduced seeking to reduce the wolf populations with even more aggressive management ‘tools’ that make it easier to hunt and trap more wolves. I am an animal rights advocate with a PASSION for WOLVES! I work along with many other advocates in many groups to SAVE and PROTECT all WOLF SPECIES here in the United States and Worldwide. We will not STOP our fight until they are returned to the ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST, before the last wolf is killed in our country...it's just a matter of time. We OPPOSE these bills and ask that you sign and share our petition along with contacting Montanas state agencies and businesses below to express that you also OPPOSE these wolf bills!

Fracking has serious health and environmental effects. So far, there is much grass roots activism in the midwestern and northeastern states most affected. I live in Washington State where there is no significant fracking yet. I want to encourage others like me to get involved and I want to let the federal government know we are here.

Coal Combustion Byproducts or Residuals ("CCB" or "CCR") are filled with concentrated toxins, including heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and mercury, and other compounds such as hexavalent chromium (of Erin Brokovich fame). Power companies, such as American Electric Power ("AEP") and others are dumping CCBs into watersheds, in unlined "fill" projects which are categorized as "beneficial use" of the materials. After the Kingston, Tennessee collapse of a CCB pond in 2008, President Obama and the EPA vowed to prevent such a catastrophe agagain. After the EPA held public hearings in 2010, the overwhelming majority of comments were in favor of regulating CCBs as a hazardous solid waste under Subtitle C of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"). To date, the EPA has yet to deliver a sensible regulation on this material. Big Coal power companies such as AEP continue to use CCBs as an unregulated "fill" material, depositing it on the banks of rivers and streams that provide drinking water for entire communities. This practice must stop. Urge the President to allow the EPA to regulate CCBs as a hazardous waste under Subtitle C of RCRA!

holding dirty energy companies liable for the dirty air and consequent negative impact on human health, the ecosystem, all living beings and the planet. I live 1 mile from a coal burning power plant and smell the dirty air frequently. Even the dogs die from cancer around here

Gas and oil production are up nationally by 25 percent this year, yet Americans are still freezing to death each winter because they have had to make the choice between buying food and buying fuel. But energy is our number one export, and the gas and oil companies are sellling our precious resources to foreign buyers who can pay much more. Fracking, an environmentally perilous technology, is motivated not by necessity but by greed.

We must knit the United States together with a high speed rail system at least as fast as that of China.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) contamination of our food supply must stop! Protecting our food suppy, especially for our children, should be our top priority. The FDA must be brought to account for its continued negligence and cronyism with multi-nationals like Monsanto, who are profiting at the expense of our health.

I believe there are not a lot of wildlife preserves in the United States of America.I also think there are not enough of wildlife preserves by the water for in-dangered species that live in the water like the Loggerhead turtles and whales.

I've seen first hand what fracking can do and it's not pretty.

I dont wish to be poisoned by a practice that everyone knows is unsafe. Hydrofracking will destroy our enviroment, ruin our rural infrastructure and lay waste on the poorest of people all of who will b affected. Furthermore, it will not create the jobs promised like the big fatcat gasbags talk about. A few diners and flophouses may benefit, but thats all. The majority of the jobs go to roughnecks from Texas and Oklahoma, two states that they've already poisoned

We are all affected by the drought and we all pay for it in so many ways. We cannot drink oil or oil our crops. One of the solutions is so simple and can be implemented quickly and easily in all new construction without too much, if any, increase in the cost of the building/home.
