Senators Schumer and Gillibrand's actions in response to such losses - calling on state officials to declare the counties of Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and Erie disaster areas - hope to provide critical assistance to the hard-working farmers of Western New York by expiditing federal aid to the areas impacted by this recent brutal freeze and restoring confidence to a critical part of New York state's economy.

"We must provide immediate assistance after the unusually low temperatures that destroyed their crops and profits for the season," Schumer said. "The health and strength of our farmers has a direct impact on our local economy and we must do everything we can to ensure that they have the financial aid they need to recover from the damage caused by last month's freeze."

We cannot afford to delay action in the hope that a “silver bullet” will save us: there will be no perfect new technology to produce infinite energy, no special sponge to take carbon out of the air, no global air-conditioning system. It takes lots of smart changes in the ways that we make and use energy to fix this problem, and we need to approach this complex problem from every angle possible.
