After years of inaction from the Bush Administration, we finally have an opportunity to break our dangerous addiction to oil and create a clean energy future. To do this, we must ensure that President-elect Obama will support critical energy priorities during his first 100 days.
The League of Conservation Voters, in cooperation with a coalition of diverse environmental groups, is leading the charge to get the message through.
Dear President-elect Obama,
It's time to Repower, Refuel, and Rebuild America.
We need to get our economy moving by building a clean energy future. We applaud your efforts to make energy a top priority, and look forward to working with you to achieve these goals:
* Move to 100% electricity from clean sources such as wind and solar;
* Cut our dependence on oil in half;
* Create 5 million new clean energy jobs; and
* Reduce global warming pollution by at least 80%.
We call on you to introduce a plan in your first 100 days that will reach these goals, and to use every opportunity - including your federal budget request and economic stimulus initiatives - to get us started.
Signed by:
