Summary: An environmental group blames oil companies for blocking renewable energy efforts in Washington.
Script of "Repower America" (TV)
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: The solution to our climate crisis seems simple: Repower America with wind and solar; end our dependence on foreign oil; a stronger economy.
So why are we still stuck with dirty and expensive energy? Because Big Oil spends hundreds of millions of dollars to block clean energy.
Lobbyists, ads, even scandals.
(Text on screen: "Big Oil, Big Influence"; "Payments in lieu of ethics"; "Bad News for the Economy: Soaring Energy Prices")
All to increase their profits while America suffers. Breaking Big Oil's lock on our government? Now that's change.
We're the American people, and we approve this message.
