Dear Daniel, Moments ago, the Senate voted to REJECT Senator Inhofe's toxic air assault!
This victory is a direct result of your action. You and 79,073 other EDF activists stood strong for clean air, and the Senate listened.
This bipartisan vote reaffirmed EPA's authority, allowing the agency to do its job, and reduce the mercury and other toxic pollution emitted from power plants into the air we breathe. This vote will save up to 1,000 lives each year, help prevent neurological damage in babies, and make it safer to eat fish caught in American waters. We should all be grateful to the 53 Senators from both parties who stopped this unconscionable attack on cleaner, healthier air for America's children.
Now the fight shifts to supporting EPA's landmark rule to limit global warming pollution from America's power plants. 81,859 of you have already taken action to support this rule, which leaves us a bit short of our 100,000 comment goal before this Monday's comment deadline — June 25th. Please make sure to send your comments to EPA today.
Thank you for taking a stand against dirty energy,
