Build the Clean Energy Economy

America's economy is taking a hit, and it all comes back to a common culprit: Our thirst for oil. High gas prices are fueling calls to gut environmental protections and exploit our coasts and wildlands. But despoiling nature to get at the little oil we have left won't make any difference in the price at the pump. Instead, now is the time to rally for an end to the nation's destructive oil addiction and invest in a new energy economy. Improved efficiency, cleaner fuels, better cars and livable communities are the smarter solutions for building a smarter America.
