Green efforts will recharge America

Investing in renewable energy sources and energy efficiency will get the U.S. economy moving forward again and repower America.

A clean energy economy will create millions of jobs, jobs that use the skills of today's workers and can't be outsourced.

A clean energy economy will create jobs for some of our most struggling industries: manufacturing jobs for those who build wind turbines and solar panels; construction and retrofitting jobs for those who will make our homes and buildings more energy efficient; and auto industry jobs for making plug-in hybrid and electric cars.

It is high time that we stop thinking of ourselves and think of our children, the future, the fate of our planet.
