Dirty drilling is putting dolphins and our oceans at risk. But there's a better choice. Take action now and support offshore wind development» Dear Anne, Last April, life for dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico changed in an instant. Instead of peacefully playing in the Gulf's warm waters, they had to dodge an evil oil slick. Sadly, not all of them survived. Earlier this year, dead dolphins washed up onshore, with BP oil on their bodies. Each year, thousands of dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and other marine animals are threatened by oil spills. Our addiction to oil is fueling dangerous offshore drilling and putting our oceans at risk. But the answer to clean energy is blowing in the wind. Tell your Senators that you want to replace dirty drills with clean windmills. Take action today and help us reach our goal of 20,000 signatures» Besides the yearly spills that empty thousands of gallons of oil into our oceans, offshore drilling rigs dump tons of toxic fluids and metal cuttings as part of normal business. On top of the dangers of extracting oil, burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, speeding along climate change. On the other hand, windmills harness a clean and infinite source of energy, while eliminating deadly drilling disasters and creating three times as many jobs as traditional fuel industries. Offshore wind development is not only a smart idea for our wallets, but for the future of our world, too. When your Senators return from their summer break, we want clean energy development to be at the top of their to-do list. Take action today to save future generations of dolphins, whales, and other marine animals from the dangers of dirty drilling. Speak up for offshore wind» For the oceans, Tatiana Marshall Oceana |
