Charlie Wilson: Dirty Coal Lover, Votes NO on Energy Bill
The House of Representatives has just passed a landmark bill that will propel our nation toward a clean energy future.
But, the really tough work has just begun. The bill will face tough opposition from Dirty Coal and Big Oil in the Senate and we will all need to work just as hard in the coming months to pass a clean energy bill.
And who voted NO and will lead Big Coal’s fight? Our very own Congressman from the 6th District, Charlie Wilson, who was very proud to cast a NO vote and told his voters the following on his web page:
“I wanted to let you know that I voted "no" on the bill.
I believe that coal must and will play a major role in our nation's transition
to energy independence. In Ohio, 86 percent of our electricity comes from coal.
And the vast majority of that coal comes from Appalachian Ohio. Because we are located in an area of the country that heavily relies on coal to turn on the lights and heat our homes, Ohio families and her energy intensive industries, like steel, will bear the brunt of the cost from this version of climate change legislation.”
Charlie Wilson proved today he is in the back pockets of the coal lobbyists and has no intentions of supporting clean renewable energies for the future.
Charlie Wilson is not qualified to be re-elected to Congress in 2010!
