  • I was misunderstood!

    Although I will admit I have been known to come off a little more abrasive than intended occasionally, I really think Senator Kerry misunderstood my tone. I assumed he would share my outrage at the nuclear loan guarantees. And frankly, I bet he really does. To see where I was coming from: http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/jbovey

  • I should have noted the bad biofuels in the bill

    You're right, the biofuels provision in the bill is terrible and we here at NRDC are devoting countless late nights to fighting it. I was trying to point out the two good things in the bill. A list of bad things in the bill would require another post, but that post would certainly headline with the biofuels provision. We need what we here are calling "biofuels done right"  - which means safeguards to prevent destruction of open lands, wildlife habitat, water supplies and other natural resources.

  • NRDC does NOT oppose Cape Wind!

    NRDC not support wind? Are you kidding? NRDC is an enthusiastic supporter of wind power and believes that offshore wind is hugely promising. We have been watching the Cape Wind project since its conception and firmly believe the environmental review process the project is going through should be allowed to run its course. If fully and thoroughly pursued, this process will provide a scientific basis for determining the projects merit. So far there is every sign that the process is being thoroughly pursued.

    Bottom line: we like what we see, but we're withholding judgment until the review process is completed, and we vigorously oppose efforts to kill the project before the review is completed.On What's going on with the energy bill in Congress posted 2 years ago 7 Responses
