America has the know-how to move us away from our dependence on oil and
toward a cleaner, more secure future. We're asking citizens to join us
in calling on Congress to adopt a bold and sensible plan to move
America toward a new energy future.
To deliver on the promise of a new energy future, we urge you to support the following goals:
* Reduce our dependence on oil by saving one-third of the oil we use today by 2025 (7 million barrels per day).
*
Harness clean, renewable, homegrown energy sources like wind, solar and
farm-based bio-fuels for at least a quarter of all energy needs by 2025.
*
Save Energy with high performance homes, buildings and appliances so
that by 2025 we use 10 percent less energy than we do today.
*
Invest in a New Energy Future. By committing $30 billion over the next
10 years to the New Energy for America Initiative, we could triple
research and development funding for the energy-saving and renewable
technologies we need to achieve these goals.
