Citing the glaring gaps between his sometimes encouraging rhetoric and the realities of his fossil fuel-laden policies, eighteen environmental, environmental justice, and public health advocacy organizations have written a pointed letter (pdf) to President Obama slamming his “all of the above” energy strategy as a “compromised” approach that “future generations can’t afford.”<\/p>\n

The coalition behind the letter\u2014which includes the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, NRDC, the Energy Action Coalition and others\u2014is upset that Obama voices concern about climate change in lofty speeches and with compelling promises even as he oversees the most dramatic push in oil and gas extraction in a generation, continuing an aggressive fossil fuel expansion despite what the climate science is saying about the urgent need to dramatically cut carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t have it both ways,\u201d said Sierra Club’s executive director Michael Brune in an interview with the Washington Post<\/em>, which received advanced notice of the letter that was sent to the White House on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“In the coming months your administration will be making key decisions regarding fossil fuel development — including the Keystone XL pipeline, fracking on public lands, and drilling in the Arctic ocean — that will either set us on a path to achieve the clean energy future we all envision or will significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution.”<\/p>\n

As the Post<\/em> reports:<\/p>\n

Though President Obama has yet to make a final decision on approval of the contoversial Keystone XL pipeline, the green groups applauded his previous comments on the project when he said the climate impact of the tar sands pipeline would be a key aspect of the overall determination. The groups want to see that standard now applied to all fossil fuel related projects in the country.<\/p>\n

“We believe that a climate impact lens should be applied to all decisions regarding new fossil fuel development,” the letter continues, urging Obama to replace his focus on coal, gas, oil, and nuclear development with a new paradigm that champions\u00a0 \u201ccarbon-reducing clean energy\u201d strategies.<\/p>\n
