Dear Scotts Contracting,

Who was the dirtiest opponent of clean energy this year? I don't think it would be too hard to name at least a handful of big oil companies and professional polluters that lied and cheated to protect their billions in profits.

That's why Repower America is asking you to vote this fall for the worst offender of 2010.

The depths to which the fossil fuel companies and their cronies have sunk this past year are unprecedented. Corporate polluters have hijacked our democracy, devastated our environment, denied the science of climate change and made record profits doing it.

Who was the dirtiest opponent of clean energy this year? Nominate a fossil fuel company for the 2010 Snake Oil Award and make sure it gets the recognition that is truly deserved.

The nomination period begins today and remains open until midnight on Friday, October 22. Our slate of nominees will be announced November 1, and after supporters like you cast your vote, the "winner" will receive our first annual Snake Oil Award.

It's up to you to decide who's the worst of the worst:

Is it Massey Energy and CEO Dan Blankenship for the way they handled the Upper Big Branch mine disaster in West Virginia last April?
Or how about Koch Industries, led by brothers Charles and David Koch, for polluting our planet and bankrolling countless climate deniers using shadowy front groups?
And let's not forget this year's critical darling BP for devastating the Gulf Coast with the worst offshore oil spill in history, hampering the investigation and sending their CEO Tony Hayward off in a golden parachute.

Submit your nominee for the 2010 Snake Oil Awards.

When climate activists come together and speak out, snake oil salesmen have nowhere to hide. Get involved today and help shine a spotlight on the biggest disgrace of 2010.

Thanks for getting involved,

Dave Boundy
