Curbing Global Warming

Climate change is the single

biggest environmental andhumanitarian crisis of our time.

We must act now to spur the

adoption of cleaner energy sources

at home and abroad

Creating the Clean Energy Future

Dependence on fossil fuels threatens our

national security and is a majorcontributor to global warming and toxic

air pollution. By investing in renewable

energy sources such as the sun, wind and

biomass, we can help solve the energyand climate crises.
