Talk to your representatives about fossil fuel concerns

Published 9:16 am Thursday, March 2, 2017

It can’t be said too often or too forcefully.
The earth is heating up, and coal, gas and oil are the main causes. The fossil fuel industry has, for over 30 years, funded climate change denial even when their research indicated climate change.
Instead of continuing to fund energy from fossil fuels we should keep these fuels in the ground. Shortages as a result would stimulate development of alternatives such as solar, wind, water and more efficient energy saving construction.
This would be a great stimulus to the economy without causing the social disruption of floods, drought, and rising ocean levels.
Let your representatives know that inaction on their part will cause them to lose elections. That is the only thing they understand.
