Environment Colorado endorsed U.S. Rep.
Mark Udall for the U.S. Senate citing his record of leadership in
building the New Energy Economy as the energy debate in this race
heats up.
“Our nation is at a crossroads on
energy policy, and we need a bold new direction. This is not the
time to beat around the bush. . From the starting line to the
finish line, Mark Udall is Colorado’s champion to build the
New Energy Economy, and now more than ever we need to aggressively
move in this direction,” said Pam Kiely, Legislative Program
Director of Environment Colorado.
“When the going gets tough in
Congress, he’s been the go-to guy on renewable energy, and
now is the time for the bold action and the new solutions that Rep.
Udall brings to the table,” continued Kiely.
His career so far has produced a
consistently strong environmental record. Rep. Udall has a lifetime
environmental voting record of 99% according to the League of
Conservation Voters, and scored 100% in 2008 according to
Environment Colorado. |

The way the world grows its food will have
to change radically to better serve the poor and hungry if the
world is to cope with a growing population and climate change while
avoiding social breakdown and environmental collapse. That is the
message from the report of the International Assessment of
Agricultural Science and Technology for Development, a major new
report by over 400 scientists which is launched today.
The assessment was considered by 64
governments at an intergovernmental plenary in Johannesburg last
week.
The authors' brief was to examine hunger,
poverty, the environment and equity together. Professor Robert
Watson Director of IAASTD said those on the margins are ill-served
by the present system: "The incentives for science to address the
issues that matter to the poor are weak... the poorest developing
countries are net losers under most trade liberalization
scenarios." |
