The Clean Energy Pledge
Download a printable version of the
pledge.
America
deserves a safe, clean, affordable energy future. We can
reduce our reliance on oil and secure a new energy future by
using America's technological know-how to develop newer,
cleaner sources of energy and by making our cars, homes and
appliances more energy efficient.
States
across the country are putting these policies into action. It
is time for the Bush administration, Congress and all elected
officials to forge a new energy path instead of relying on the
outmoded dirty and dangerous policies of the past.
We call
on Congress and the Bush administration to take the following
pledge for a smarter, cleaner energy future.
I,
______________, pledge to support a forward-thinking energy
policy.
Specifically, I pledge to:
____
Promote a renewable energy standard requiring 20% electricity
generation from renewable sources by 2020.
____
Increase the fuel economy standard for cars, SUVs and light
trucks to 40 mpg by 2013, reducing the oil used by cars and
trucks by one-third in 2020.
____
Ensure a reliable and consumer-friendly electric system by
strengthening consumer protections.
____
Oppose opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other
sensitive lands to oil and gas drilling.
I have
placed a check by all measures that I support.
