ACTION ALERT

TAKE ACTION: Stop the Nomination of Pro-Fracker Moniz as Head of the DOE!
 
Over the protests of hundreds of thousands of concerned citizens, President Obama nominated Ernest Moniz, an ardent supporter of fracking, to be the U.S. Energy Secretary. No surprise, Moniz has a long history of ties to the oil and gas industry.
 
The Huffington Post reports that Moniz has spent the last decade serving on a range of boards and advisory councils for energy industry heavyweights, including some that do business with the Department of Energy. That includes a six-year paid stint on BP’€™s Technology Advisory Council as well as similar positions at a uranium enrichment company and a pair of energy investment firms.
 
Those most likely to hear our protests and scuttle Moniz’€™s nomination are Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO), Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). And of course, we need to keep pressuring the President.
 
TAKE ACTION: Stop the Nomination of Pro-Fracker Moniz as Head of the DOE!
