Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that unless our policymakers immediately and drastically shift away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy like offshore wind, they are consigning us and future generations to an unlivable future.
49% : Biden must work with Congress to ensure that permanent protections from offshore drilling, as well as the elimination of taxpayer giveaways to the oil industry, are enacted in the final budget bill.
48% : The question is: Will our politicians fail us again, and continue to do the bidding of the oil industry, allowing an even grimmer future for our children and grandchildren?
46% : Meanwhile, the government is using our tax dollars to help fund this destruction by giving handouts to the oil industry.
33% : We warned that where we drill, we spill, and if the government continued to allow the oil industry to pursue dirty and dangerous offshore drilling, we would see oil washing up on California's beaches.
