Action Alert Fight back against new drilling by supporting clean energy.  We have a chance to do the right thing… Call your member of Congress today! America's Arctic and other special places that we love in America are on the chopping block. Emboldened by high gas prices, Big Oil's friends are back in Congress this week, mounting their most aggressive attack yet. They want to use our public lands and waters for their private profit, and permanently destroy America's natural treasures in the process.    Both the House and Senate Leadership have indicated that they will debate and vote on Energy legislation in a matter of days.  We need a clean energy proposal that closes royalty loopholes for Big Oil and increases our use of clean, renewable energy sources like wind and solar while providing for transportation alternatives. But with all the fervor for drilling these days, it's going to be a tough fight - we'll need your help…   Can you make a quick phone call to your member of Congress to support clean energy instead of new drilling? Click here for all the info…   Big Oil has had a chokehold on the energy agenda in Washington for too long and they're closer than ever to getting what they want. But you and I know two facts that can stop them:   ·         Drilling won't mean a drop at the pump. Drilling will cause permanent destruction to our natural treasures, in Alaska and around the country, without lowering today's high gas prices.    ·         We can't drill our way to energy independence. America uses 25% of the world's oil but has only 3% of the potential supply - we cannot be energy independent without investing heavily in clean, renewable energy.   Clean energy is the only responsible way forward.   Make sure your member of Congress is on our team.   Please call your member of Congress. It will only take a moment.   Thousands of activists just like you are calling and visiting Washington today. Be a part of this incredible movement for clean energy, make your call now!   Talking points for calls to Congress   1)      I urge you to support a clean energy future.   2)      Drilling won't mean a drop at the pump! Drilling will cause permanent destruction to the public lands that you and I treasure, in Alaska and around the country, without lowering today's high gas prices.    3)      We can't drill our way to energy independence. Clean energy is the only responsible way forward. America uses 25% of the world's oil but has only 3% of the potential supply - we cannot be energy independent without investing heavily in clean, renewable energy.
