We've seen the result of oil money flowing into Washington and bribing political decisions.

If that video makes you angry, go to our Facebook Power without Petroleum page to demand an end to the bribes and a focus on clean energy!

The disaster in the Gulf was no accident. It was the result of years of oil money buying off politicians to lead to an unregulated and ill focused addiction to oil and drilling. The doomed fate of the local fisherman and the environment were foretold in the infamous chants of "Drill, Baby, Drill."

If any good is to come out of this horrible and unprecedented disaster, it will only be through people standing up and demanding political leadership around creating a clean energy economy and finally stopping offshore drilling.

Brave New Films will release a series of videos on this topic. We invite you to join our Power Without Petroleum page on Facebook, the home where those videos will live, and where action for clean energy will be organized. We believe the story of this disaster and the clean energy needs to be told. And we believe the American people have had enough and will demand a change! Come join us. Demand a stop to the bribes, and demand clean energy!
