Sen. Stevens has long been a proponent of dirty, polluting energy and especially of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In 2007, he voted to create a mandate for the production of 6 billion gallons of global warming pollution-causing liquid coal by 2022, and to allow natural gas drilling on Virginia's coast. While promoting dirty energy, Stevens voted to dramatically weaken a requirement that utilities get 15% of their electricity from clean, renewable sources – by supporting an outrageous effort to allow things like coal and nuclear power to be included! Last year's raid on Stevens' home by the FBI and IRS as part of an investigation of alleged improper ties to an Alaska energy services company make this dirty Senator very vulnerable in November. Senator Stevens' consistent votes against the environment have earned him an LCV lifetime score of just 14%.

Like fellow Alaskan Ted Stevens, Rep. Don Young has long fought to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling. He opposed a 15% national renewable electricity standard last year and voted against shifting billions of dollars in subsidies from Big Oil and Gas companies towards renewable energy and energy efficiency. He even tried to send last year's energy bill back to committee with instructions to add environmentally damaging provisions for liquid coal and oil drilling. Like Stevens, Young is also under investigation for his ties to the same Alaska energy company. During the last three months of 2007 Young spent $400,000 from his campaign fund on legal fees. Rep. Young's LCV lifetime score is a measly 9%.

The Energy Independence and Security Act (H.R. 6) increased fuel efficiency in cars for the first time in 32 years, no thanks to Sen. Landrieu, who repeatedly voted against clean energy legislation. In fact, she cast a deciding vote against a version of the energy bill that included increased fuel efficiency and a repeal of billions of dollars of subsidies for Big Oil companies already swimming in profits. Additionally, Landrieu voted against capping subsidies for industrial mega-farms, and re-directing that money into underfunded voluntary conservation programs for farmers and ranchers. Hurricane Katrina sent many of Landrieu's constituents out of Louisiana, and she is regarded as the most vulnerable Democrat in the Senate. Sen. Landrieu's lifetime LCV score: 43%.

Sen. McConnell cast a number of anti-environment votes in 2007, just as he has every year of his Congressional career. Among them were votes against clean, renewable electricity, increased fuel efficiency, and allowing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to consider the effects of global warming on our water supply. What did he vote for? An amendment that would increase the production of dirty liquid coal, an increase in offshore drilling, and an amendment that would eliminate current public health and environmental permitting procedures for new or expanded oil refineries. Amazingly, McConnell is running an ad in Kentucky touting his green record. As Senate Minority Leader, McConnell is a top target for defeat in November. McConnell's lifetime LCV score is just 7%.
