President, after president, after president...for the past 40 years...has given lip service to the need for ending our addiction to fossil fuels.
We have seen what offshore oil drilling can do to damage the environment, the fishing industry and tourism. We have seen what dirty coal can do in terms of mountaintop removal, smog, acid rain, mercury pollution, and fly ash waste. We have watched the carbon pollution increase and the global average temperature rise.
Tell President Obama that it is time to get serious about shifting to clean, renewable energy.
Add your name to a letter to President Obama, and let him know that we stand with him for a strong renewable energy and climate bill to end our dependence on oil and other fossil fuels and to build America's clean energy future.
Shift to Clean Energy to benefit the Environment, Human Health, Economy, and Energy Security.
Move beyond fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy - Create jobs, reduce pollution & sustain life.

PROTECT EARTH'S ENVIRONMENT
GO GREEN in 2012 !
Clean Energy NOW !
Burning fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution has resulted in unprecedented carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change. A Clean Energy Revolution that stops CO2 pollution is needed to curb global warming and stabilize the climate.
National Priorities are:
1. GREEN JOBS: Start a Clean Energy Job Corps and create five million Green jobs in the U.S. The Corps will focus on energy efficiency and conservation measures, cutting global warming pollution 20% by 2015. Green jobs are needed to manufacture and implement clean energy technology. 2. CUT CARBON POLLUTION: Cut global warming pollution 25% by 2020, and at least 80% below the 1990 level by 2050, as indicated by climate scientists. Pass climate policies in support of Clean Energy. 3. NO NEW COAL: Moratorium on new coal-fired power plants. The feasibility and cost to capture and sequester CO2 are not known. Redirect fossil fuel investments to support Clean Energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, and inedible biomass. These priorities are endorsed by the national movements, StepItUp2007 and 1Sky. |
