WASHINGTON \u2013 Dos senadores est\u00e1n presentando una legislaci\u00f3n ambiciosa para impedir que el gobierno emita nuevos arrendamientos de terrenos p\u00fablicos para la extracci\u00f3n de combustibles f\u00f3siles.<\/p>\n

La iniciativa, impulsada por los senadores Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) y Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), es una apuesta que encontrar\u00eda una feroz oposici\u00f3n por parte de los republicanos. Merkley dijo que el objetivo del proyecto de ley es combatir el cambio clim\u00e1tico y ayudar a prevenir un aumento de la temperatura global, que podr\u00eda provocar da\u00f1os catastr\u00f3ficos.<\/p>\n

Los cient\u00edficos han calculado que para evitar que el planeta se caliente m\u00e1s de 2 grados Celsius, el 80 por ciento de las reservas conocidas de combustibles f\u00f3siles en todo el mundo deben permanecer bajo tierra. <\/p>\n

El proyecto de ley bloquear\u00eda nuevos arrendamientos y pondr\u00eda fin a los arrendamientos no productivos de combustibles f\u00f3siles (como carb\u00f3n, petr\u00f3leo, gas, esquisto bituminoso y arenas bituminosas) en terrenos federales y para perforaciones en alta mar en el Pac\u00edfico y el Golfo de M\u00e9xico. Tambi\u00e9n prohibir\u00eda por completo la perforaci\u00f3n en alta mar en los oc\u00e9anos \u00c1rtico y Atl\u00e1ntico.<\/p>\n

"Este es un punto de reuni\u00f3n para que las bases se involucren como lo hicieron en el oleoducto Keystone XL, como lo hicieron en el \u00c1rtico", dijo Merkley a los periodistas antes de la publicaci\u00f3n del proyecto de ley.<\/p>\n

El d\u00fao del Senado realiz\u00f3 una manifestaci\u00f3n el mi\u00e9rcoles en las afueras del Capitolio y a unos pasos del Senado. Junto con activistas ambientales y organizaciones como el Sierra Club y 350.org<\/a>, Merkley y Sanders dijeron que esperaban que su proyecto de ley llamara m\u00e1s la atenci\u00f3n sobre el cambio clim\u00e1tico. <\/p>\n

Sanders, candidato presidencial de 2016, critic\u00f3 a los republicanos que se postulaban para presidente por el tema. La mayor\u00eda de los candidatos republicanos dicen que no creen en la ciencia detr\u00e1s del cambio clim\u00e1tico y niegan que las actividades humanas, como la quema de combustibles f\u00f3siles, contribuyan al calentamiento global.<\/p>\n

"Lo que les digo a mis colegas republicanos que rechazan la ciencia, que se niegan a trabajar con nosotros para transformar agresivamente nuestro sistema energ\u00e9tico: les digo: preoc\u00fapense menos por sus contribuciones de campa\u00f1a, preoc\u00fapense m\u00e1s por sus hijos y sus nietos", dijo Sanders.<\/p>\n

Sanders aprovech\u00f3 la oportunidad para intervenir tambi\u00e9n en las pol\u00edticas ambientales de Hillary Clinton. Cuando se le pregunt\u00f3 si las pol\u00edticas clim\u00e1ticas de Clinton podr\u00edan considerarse s\u00f3lidas sin apoyar un esfuerzo para mantener todos los combustibles f\u00f3siles bajo tierra, Sanders dijo que para \u201ctomar en serio el cambio clim\u00e1tico, no podemos limitarnos a hablar lo que hablamos\u201d.<\/p>\n

"No puedo hablar con Hillary Clinton, pero espero que Hillary Clinton se una a Jeff Merkley y a m\u00ed en este tema", dijo Sanders. \u201cLa cuesti\u00f3n es que aqu\u00ed, en tierras federales, en mi opini\u00f3n, en opini\u00f3n del senador Merkley, no deber\u00edamos extraer petr\u00f3leo, carb\u00f3n y gas de esas tierras en el futuro. Al mismo tiempo que intentamos combatir el cambio clim\u00e1tico, simplemente no tiene ning\u00fan sentido\u201d.<\/p>\n

Clinton, al igual que Sanders, considera el cambio clim\u00e1tico una amenaza a la seguridad nacional y apoya las medidas que ha adoptado el presidente Barack Obama para frenar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero.<\/p>\n

Aun as\u00ed, el ambiente en el Capitolio dista mucho de ser favorable a tales medidas. Los l\u00edderes republicanos en el Senado han prometido utilizar todas las herramientas a su disposici\u00f3n para frenar las regulaciones de la administraci\u00f3n sobre la contaminaci\u00f3n de carbono de las plantas de energ\u00eda, y han denunciado el trabajo del presidente con otras naciones antes de una reuni\u00f3n de las Naciones Unidas en Par\u00eds sobre el cambio clim\u00e1tico. All\u00ed, casi 200 pa\u00edses intentar\u00e1n finalizar un acuerdo que comprometa a cada uno de ellos con objetivos de reducci\u00f3n de emisiones por primera vez.<\/p>\n

Sanders dijo que Obama deber\u00eda negar "absolutamente" el permiso de TransCanada para el oleoducto Keystone XL antes de las conversaciones de Par\u00eds como muestra de determinaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Merkley espera que el proyecto de ley fomente conversaciones entre los legisladores en el Capitolio, entre el p\u00fablico y durante el ciclo electoral de 2016. Sin embargo, sin hacerse ilusiones sobre el futuro del proyecto de ley, admiti\u00f3 que \u00e9l y Sanders no esperan que los l\u00edderes republicanos en los comit\u00e9s de energ\u00eda de ambas c\u00e1maras marquen o celebren una audiencia sobre el tema.<\/p>\n

"No esperamos acci\u00f3n legislativa bajo los l\u00edderes actuales tanto en la C\u00e1mara como en el Senado", dijo Merkley. R\u00e1pidamente a\u00f1adi\u00f3 que si bien su proyecto de ley habr\u00eda sido un \u201calcance m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del horizonte\u201d hace unos a\u00f1os, ahora no lo es.  <\/p>\n

Los republicanos han criticado este tipo de legislaci\u00f3n en el pasado, argumentando que aumentar\u00eda los costos de la electricidad y dejar\u00eda a miles de trabajadores sin empleo. Al abordar esa preocupaci\u00f3n, Sanders dijo que \u00e9l y Merkley tambi\u00e9n planean introducir una legislaci\u00f3n para proteger a los trabajadores del petr\u00f3leo, el gas y el carb\u00f3n brind\u00e1ndoles oportunidades educativas y capacitaci\u00f3n laboral.<\/p>\n

"Tenemos la responsabilidad moral de asegurarnos de que a medida que hacemos la transici\u00f3n de los combustibles f\u00f3siles a la eficiencia energ\u00e9tica y la energ\u00eda sostenible, estos trabajadores est\u00e9n protegidos", dijo Sanders.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
