Washington, DC: The Sierra Club today strongly condemned the House of Representatives for passing an energy bill that constitutes one of the worst disasters for the environment, public health and consumers in years. The Sierra Club also called on the Senate to reject this destructive bill--including using a filibuster if necessary--in order to protect America's clean air, clean water, and natural heritage.
"The Bush Administration and polluters might be sipping champagne today, but the public is being forced to swallow more pollution in their drinking water, weaker environmental and consumer protections, dirtier air, and despoiled public lands," said Carl Pope, Executive Director of the Sierra Club.
