Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–October 20 marks six months since BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling platform exploded, killing eleven workers and sending millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Following the disaster, the Sierra Club reached out to hundreds of thousands of citizens, who called on our leaders to prevent future oil disasters by moving American beyond oil dependence. Since then Big Oil has poured tens of millions of dollars into lobbying and political campaigns to fight any reform or accountability for their industry.
