Clean energy is important to all of us, even those who believe it isn't. It will positively affect the health of all people and all things that live on the earth.

As of the present and more than likely the distant future, earth is the only habitable planet for life as we know it. Once it is gone that's it! No amount of personal material wealth will be of any value. Air and water, for instance, that we presently take for granted, will become the new gold!

Please do not give in and compromise anything "green" in the reinvestment bill. Hold steady and true on this issue for all US citizens and the world.

As we add more and more people to this planet, it will be ever more critical that our energy use be ecologically and economically sustainable and not trash our home and our future. We can be leaders in building green energy technology and jobs!

We must permanently curtail our dependence on fossil fuels and generate energy from renewable sources that won't destroy our environment.
