Robert Redford has put a video on YouTube saying that the BP Gulf disaster is a wake up call to all of us to get the country to move toward a clean energy future, that citizens must push the "politicians in the government that are in collusion with the energy companies" to move America.away from fossil fuels. See the video.
Robert Redford is a conservationist and environmentalist who has for a long time advocated all things green. He and others are making a big push while the Gulf environmental crisis is in the news and on the minds of the American people. With America's East coast under threat of an ecological disaster, it is easier to point out the clear and present danger of off shore drilling, and of relying on the so-called expertise of the oil companies to know and to do what is best for our energy needs.
