Letter to US Senator Ron Wyden from 85
June 30, 2013 Chairman Ron Wyden U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources 405 Dirksen Senate Building, Washington, D.C. 20510 CC: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell U.S. Senate Speaker John Boehner, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Henry Waxman Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Ed Markey U.S. House of Representatives Dear Chairman Ron Wyden and Members of Congress: In a January 30, 2013 letter to President Obama, you and fifteen of your colleagues in the U.S. Senate wrote that “pollution can cause asthma attacks, heart and lung disease, cancer, damage to the reproductive system, strokes, and premature death.” 1 You said that you “stand ready to work with [the President] to use available tools to provide stronger safeguards that will address dangerous air pollution.” With your clearly stated intentions on the public record, we, the undersigned, are writing to ask you to expand upon your laudable efforts on behalf of the health and well-being of all Americans by ending your support for the expansion of polluting industrial-scale biomass energy. While receiving many of the same taxpayer subsidies as genuinely clean energy sources which emit no pollutants, such as solar and wind, electricity-generating biomass facilities emit large quantities of health-damaging air pollution. For example, the latest U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data shows that biomass incinerators emit 98% as much nitrogen oxides (NOx) as burning bituminous coal and higher levels of the most dangerous particulate matter (PM 2.5 , including ultrafine and nano particulates).

January 10, 2019 Re: Legislation to Address the Urgent Threat Of
January 10, 2019 Re: Legislation to Address the Urgent Threat of Climate Change Dear Representative: On behalf of our millions of members and supporters, we are writing today to urge you to consider the following principles as the 116th Congress debates climate change legislation and momentum around the country builds for a Green New Deal. As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently warned, if we are to keep global warming below 1.5°C, we must act aggressively and quickly. At a minimum, reaching that target requires visionary and affirmative legislative action in the following areas: Halt all fossil fuel leasing, phase out all fossil fuel extraction, and end fossil fuel and other dirty energy subsidies. The science is clear that fossil fuels must be kept in the ground. Pursuing new fossil fuel projects at this moment in history is folly. Most immediately, the federal government must stop selling off or leasing publicly owned lands, water, and mineral rights for development to fossil fuel producers. The government must also stop approving fossil fuel power plants and infrastructure projects. We must reverse recent legislation that ended the 40-year ban on the export of crude oil, end the export of all other fossil fuels, and overhaul relevant statutes that govern fossil fuel extraction in order to pursue a managed decline of fossil fuel production. Further, the federal government must immediately end the massive, irrational subsidies and other financial support that fossil fuel, and other dirty energy companies (such as nuclear, waste incineration and biomass energy) continue to receive both domestically and overseas.

Box 3000, Boulder, CO 80307-3000 Gentlemen, Although we greatly respect your work on climate and lending it a much higher profile in public dialogue than would otherwise be the case, we read your letter of November 3, 2013 urging the environmental community to support nuclear power as a solution to climate change with concern. We respectfully disagree with your analysis that nuclear power can safely and affordably mitigate climate change. Nuclear power is not a financially viable option. Since its inception it has required taxpayer subsidies and publically financed indemnity against accidents. New construction requires billions in public subsidies to attract private capital and, once under construction, severe cost overruns are all but inevitable. As for operational safety, the history of nuclear power plants in the US is fraught with near misses, as documented by the Union of Concerned Scientists, and creates another financial and safety quagmire – high-level nuclear waste. Internationally, we’ve experienced two catastrophic accidents for a technology deemed to be virtually ‘failsafe’.

Coalition Letter Opposing COOL Repeal
June 8, 2015 The Honorable K. Michael Conaway Chairman, House Agriculture Committee 1301 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 The Honorable Collin Peterson Ranking Member, House Agriculture Committee 1301 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Chairman Conaway and Ranking Member Peterson: The undersigned 283 farm, rural, faith, environmental, labor, farmworker, manufacturer and consumer organizations respectfully urge you to reject the repeal of the Country-of-Origin Labeling (COOL) law and support commonsense food labeling. Polls show that nine out of ten Americans support COOL. Consumers continue to demand more information about their food and producers want to share that information. Although the World Trade Organization (WTO) Appellate Body has issued its decision on COOL, the United States has a sovereign right to allow the dispute process to proceed to its completion and then decide how and whether to implement the adverse ruling. Our organizations remain steadfast in their opposition to any efforts to undermine COOL through repeal or any other measures. It is premature for the Congress to unilaterally surrender to saber-rattling from our trading partners in the midst of a long-standing dispute. COOL opponents have highlighted Mexico and Canada’s threats of retaliation as if their aspiration to seek billions of dollars in penalties were already approved by the WTO. But these unapproved, unrealistically high retaliation claims are merely aggressive litigation tactics designed to frighten the United States — a standard practice in WTO disputes. Congress should not fall for it. The WTO can only authorize penalties based on the extent to which COOL caused a reduction in the volume and price of livestock imports.
