WASHINGTON, DC, February 17, 2011 (ENS) - The League of Conservations Voters today released the 2010 National Environmental Scorecard amidst the greatest attack on the EPA's budget in 30 years and current Congressional assaults on the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, wildlife and wild places.
Generally, Democrats in both the Senate and the House scored high on environmental votes, many hitting 100 percent, while Republicans scored low, many hitting zero.
"While the lack of progress in 2010 is highly disappointing, we applaud those members of Congress who fought to protect public health and the environment and reduce our nation's dangerous dependence on oil," said Tiernan Sittenfeld, LCV senior vice president of government affairs.
"Conversely," she said, "the 2010 Scorecard clearly exposes those members who put corporate polluters and other special interests ahead of the health and well-being of all Americans by opposing efforts to transition our nation to a clean energy economy, enforce commonsense pollution safeguards, and protect the environment."
