It is insane that we are using a food product to fuel our cars with.Ethanol is an inefficient fuel and contributes to air and ground water pollution. It lowers fuel economy by anwhere from 5 to 40% depending on the ethanol content of the fuel and causes damage expensive parts in you engine. It doesn't reduce our dependence on imported because of the large amount of oil that goes into the growing making and shipping it..Corn uses a massive amount of petroleum based fertilizer,pesticides and fertilizer to grow it. Cellulosic ethanol is very expensive and many years away as no efficient way to make it has been developed. But now biobutanol is on the verge of mass production. Biobutanol is made from farm waste and other biomass waste such as wood chips and other waste products. Biobutanol has 95% of the energy content of gasoline and since it burns more completely than gasoline you will end up fuel economy better than gasoline alone instead of the penalty of fuel economy that ethanol has. Another side effect is a reduction in emmisions.

Petition to end the accident killing of marine species which are not targeted by removing the profit from the resulting by-catch

Gasoline is my major monthly expense. we cannot use public transportation and a car is the only way to get to work,doctors and grocery stores..As a nation we are using less fuel than ever,but the price is remaining high and fuel has become our number one export...http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/story/2011-12-31/united-states-export/52298812/1

The proposed East West Utility Corridor from Calais, ME to Coburn Gap, ME feasibility study (postponement bill in legislature in ME) needs to have an environmental impact and a cultural Maine impact (eco-tourism, farming, retirement communities and way life should be. If you agree sign this petition.

Let's all pitch in and put an end to global warming by shutting down power plants that put polutents in the air.

With the cost of power affecting everyone and the hot dry summer affecting our atmosphere, why should the coal powered plants continue to be powered up when demand is low? Wind power should be the alternative to the dirty coal emissions used unnecessarily when demand is low.

The Koch Brothers funded study convinced the climate-change denier doing it that there is man-made climate change. The Koch brothers and their companies have enough money to make a difference for climate change reversal. They should admit that they have been wrong and at least equal the $50 million or so that they have spend on climate change denial on clean.renewable energy. They could do so by funding and using wind energy for their Georgia-Pacific paper and wood-products mils.

Reduce carbon emissions to a sustainable level, as rapidly as possible by use of a carbon tax as well as an infusion of government spending on renewable energy projects.

Outlaw the use of ROUND UP.

Almost everwhere people are experiencing dangerously severe weather. It is well known that the burning of fossil fuels, like coal and oil, cause global warming leading to climate disruption. Petition signers pledge to take action and to urge energy leaders in government and industry to do their part.

Rural Nevada is in a drought too. A natural area almost the size of Vermont will be turned into a dustbowl. And Southern Nevada neither needs the water, nor can it afford the 15 billion dollar cost. Besides; desalination would mean more water for everyone.

Utah legislators should reject the appointment of nuclear industry executive Dan Shrum to the state's new Radiation Control Board. This is literally a case of the fox guarding the hen house. His company, "EnergySolutions", is a company in deep financial difficulties scrambling to ram hotter nuclear waste past Utah officials. Ask the Utah senate to reject his appointment when it votes on August 15th.
