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.
