Washington, DC — 350 Action Director May Boeve issued the following statement in response to the announcement that Hillary Clinton had picked Senator Tim Kaine as her Vice Presidential choice:
“Tim Kaine won’t energize the climate base, so it’s up to Hillary to start staking out some clearer positions. Kaine was with us on Keystone XL, but against us on offshore drilling and fracking. This November, climate activists, young people, and progressives will turn up at the polls for candidates who say the magic words, ‘keep it in the ground.’ If Democrats want to drive turnout, it’s time to come out more clearly against drilling, fracking, and new fossil fuel infrastructure.”
