«The
fossil fuel industry and its shills are willing to exploit any crisis and go to any lengths
in their effort to extract more dirty
fuels and dismantle critical climate policies,» said Erich Pica, president of Friends of the Earth U.S. «
Rather than promoting dirty
fossil fuels like tar sands and fracked natural gas, Obama and Barroso should be doing everything they can to
keep these
fuels in the
ground and help avert climate catastrophe.»
