>   A New Energy Future
>   Oil and gas prices have gone through the roof. And,
>   plain and simple, America is too dependent on oil.
>   The impacts include beautiful wilderness areas
>   destroyed by oil drilling, pipelines running through
>   our most pristine land, both entire species of
>   wildlife being threatened and beaches marred by oil
>   spills, national parks choked with smog, and global
>   warming.
>
>   But it doesn’t have to be this way. The technology
>   exists today that would make our cars go further on
>   a gallon of gas, a simple solution that would reduce
>   our dependence on oil. Unfortunately, oil industry
>   allies in Congress continue to push for drilling in
>   the Arctic Refuge and in protected coastal areas.
>
>   Victory In The Arctic
>   Imagine a place that is still completely pristine
>   and has never seen the impact of human development.
>   Picture thousands of acres of rolling tundra, home
>   to hundreds of species of plants and animals. Polar
>   bears den there. Birds migrate there from as far
>   away as the Chesapeake Bay. Every year thousands of
>   caribou fight their way over mountains and across
>   rivers to come here, the one place they give birth
>   to their calves.
>
>   This is the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. There
>   are very few places like it left in the world.
>   Unfortunately, multinational oil companies, with
>   support from their allies in Congress, have targeted
>   the Arctic Refuge for drilling. The Fund and the
>   Sierra Club have teamed up to build the political
>   support needed to permanently protect this coastal
>   plain and the wildlife that depend on it.
