President Bush: Implement the Energy Policy That Works!
Target: George W. Bush, PresidentSponsored by: Bill Richardson for President
The disastrous policies of the Bush administration are threatening the future of our planet. Our dependence on oil, and the effects of global warming are putting our future at risk. We need a new "man-on-the-moon" effort to protect our environment - Governor Bill Richardson has provided us with that plan.
Governor Bill Richardson, who served as Energy Secretary under President Bill Clinton, knows that U.S. foreign policy is too dependent on maintaining access to oil resources, and oil consumption is hastening the effects of global warming.
But Richardson isn't just talking. In his own state, he signed a law that would quadruple the use of clean energy by 2020. As Energy Secretary, he increased efficiency standards for appliances, saving billions in energy costs. If implemented nationwide, his plan would:
TELL PRESIDENT BUSH: FOLLOW GOVERNOR RICHARDSON'S LEAD AND IMPLEMENT A STRICT BUT FAIR ENERGY PLAN THAT WORKS!

But Richardson isn't just talking. In his own state, he signed a law that would quadruple the use of clean energy by 2020. As Energy Secretary, he increased efficiency standards for appliances, saving billions in energy costs. If implemented nationwide, his plan would:
- Reduce oil imports by 40 percent.
- Replace at least 20 percent of our transportation fuels with renewable resources by 2020.
- Reduce greenhouse gases 75 percent by 2050.
- Promote tax breaks for the construction of energy efficient buildings.
- Offer tax credits for hybrid cars and public transportation.
- Create a system of tradable energy credits to encourage private investment in alternative energy technologies.
- Provide tax incentives for the use of renewable energy sources like solar, wind or biofuels.

What are we waiting for to make changes about energy sources and consumption? Laws need to be put into place demanding that people wake up, respond, and take action to change the current path of self-destruction we're on.

This country needed a clean energy and oil independence plan like 30 years ago! We are woefully behind the rest of the world. Please support research and funding for clean energy, so we can once again have breathab le air in our cities and we don't have to start wars for oil! Thank you.

We cannot depend on oil for too much longer or else we will destroy our planet and our people.

The president owes it to his country to make it a better place, not to line its pockets.

As the pressure on finite resources continues to increase, so does the pressure on earth and its inhabitants. It is time that we, as the society which has arguably benefited most from the exploitation of these resources, should lead the way in research, design, and implementation of clean, renewable energy sources and energy efficient practices. Nominally, our national security depends on it. Spiritually, our nation cries out for a common cause.

Will you lay waste to our nation's future for greed and power lust? Awaken from your stupor and lead. We need to cool the earth and change our behavior and you must know this. Do that which you were meant to do and lead in the right direction

This is the kind of forward thinking that will allow our country to be oil independent and will remove power from the hands of the greedy.
