Hands Across the Sand: Say No To Oil Drilling And Yes To A Clean Energy Economy
It's clear from the disaster in the Gulf that oil is risky, dirty, and dangerous.
Join Clean Water Action members and supporters in Florida on Saturday, June 26th for a national day of action to help clean up America's energy and to call on President Obama to move us off oil.
Find a Hand Across the Sand event in Florida, New Jersey, or in other parts of the U.S. or around the world.
For local organizing or attendance information in Florida, please contact Kathy Aterno.
Oil from rocks?
Do you believe in magic? Big Oil and their supporters hope so, as they advocate their latest domestic energy source: oil shale.
Oil shale is neither oil nor shale. This finely-grained sedimentary rock - more properly known as organic marlstone - is infused with kerogen, not oil. Kerogen is a dense blend of ancient algae and pond scum, and is an essential ingredient in oil and natural gas. But transforming kerogen to oil requires millennia, coupled with intense heat and crushing geologic pressure. Otherwise the kerogen remains a relatively energy-poor waxy deposit in sedimentary rocks, such as oil shale.
