Robert Redford: Let’s Stand Up to Big Oil
Who gets to decide our energy future? You see, oil companies may have big bucks, but you and I have what politicians fear most: a voice and a vote.
If millions of us organize and speak out, we get to decide. Please join me in standing up to Big Oil by demanding clean energy right now.” – Robert Redford
Shell Oil is racing to sink its drills into the Arctic’s Chukchi Sea — and the Obama Administration has given them the green light. An oil spill in the fragile, wildlife-filled waters of the Arctic will devastate our natural heritage, and drilling and burning Arctic oil will fuel more climate chaos.
Experts have determined that there is a 75% chance of a major oil spill if drilling proceeds. Those odds are simply outrageous — and they must not be allowed to stand.
