BlueGreen Alliance Calls on Congress to Oppose Crude Oil Exports
The BlueGreen Alliance urges Congress to oppose H.R. 702, a bill that would lift the long-standing ban on crude oil exports.
The BlueGreen Alliance sent a letter to members of Congress urging them to oppose H.R. 702, a bill that would lift the long-standing ban on crude oil exports, and arguing that lifting the export ban would not only risk undoing recent gains in America’s energy security, but would also threaten jobs, economic security, and the environment.
Instead of exporting pollution and good jobs to other countries, we need to continue to improve safety and health practices in the U.S. oil industry and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Please oppose H.R. 702, a bill to lift the crude oil export ban, because of its harmful impacts on both workers and our environment.
