Tampa Environmentalist Kent Bailey RIP

Rest in Power my friend

We will never forget you!

"Florida lost an environmental champion and I lost a friend yesterday. Kent Bailey was an amazing advocate for this state, and he has done so much for the environmental movement, especially in Tampa. We got to stand together on so many issues and I am sorry I will not get to stand next 
to him anymore." Tim Heberlein

"Kent Bailey, I was shocked to discover you had passed away when I returned home from work today. I wish I had touched base with you, even once, to reminisce about the good old days when we campaigned for now Commissioner Kemp. I will make it a priority in my political career to support environmentalism and protect our world. Thank you for a lifetime of service. Rest easy, friend." Asher Edelson

"We've lost Kent Bailey, the Chair of the Sierra Club for many years and one of Hillsborough County's greatest "good trouble" makers. I really can't believe that Kent is gone from a heart attack. He was a dear friend. I never expected to lose him so soon.

He was a cherished and consistent voice on climate change, sea level rise and the environment and a kind and wonderful human being. We miss you Kent. You made this community such a richer place and you saved Cone Ranch, a treasure for generations 

to come." Pat Kemp

"The loss of Kent Bailey is devastating to our community. Honestly, I don't think that I can find the words to adequately express the great fondness and the immense amount of respect that I have for Kent, and for the work that he did in within our community. Thank you Kent Bailey. You will be GREATLY missed."

much reassurance. HERE

TECO Protest in Tampa

"Fugitive methane" from natural gas is 80 times more potent in terms of climate change than CO2. Many studies have shown that even though the CO2 smokestack emissions are less with gas than with coal, because of fugitive methane switching from coal to gas does very little to slow climate change. In fact, it may be worse. Methane escapes from the extraction and transportation of natural gas, whether it is fracked gas or not. Gas is NOT a "bridge fuel". It is a "Bridge to Nowhere!" Kent Bailey

Words of Kent Bailey

For decades, an extreme excess of money from fossil fuels has funded conflict in the Middle East. Limiting petrol-dollars would do much to stabilize the region. We can achieve this thru the peaceful, global development of renewable energy. A policy based on the pursuit of peace thru continued death and destruction will continue to fail, even if escalated to
apocalyptic proportions.

The aggressive development and export of renewable energy technology can render this Endless War economically unsustainable for America's enemies while simultaneously creating tens of millions of jobs in the United States. Reducing the demand and the price for gas and oil will also make many of the deep-water, shale oil, fracking, arctic and other marginally profitable extraction schemes no longer profitable.

And, oh by the way, we can save our grandchildren's planet in the process. HERE

Beyond individual actions, we must act collectively to reject those who reject Science and demand climate action. TECO, HART, the Tampa Bay Times and our Governor insist that CNG reduces carbon emissions when Science tells us that the fugitive methane (gas that escapes into the atmosphere without being burned) makes CNG WORSE than either diesel or coal! Methane is 80X more potent as a greenhouse gas.

Tampa's expensive and dangerous project!

"Tampa just does not need this expensive, dangerous project!" Kent Bailey
