Clean energy

The Natural Resources Defense Council sent us the following:

In the midst of sky-high energy prices, America faces an important opportunity to solve many of our biggest challenges – global warming, energy security and an economic downturn -- with the development of a clean energy economy. We can create millions of high-paying jobs to make fuel-efficient cars, retrofit our buildings with energy-efficient materials and develop renewable energy that will help power our homes while reducing global warming pollution.

Want to learn more? Come to an exciting public forum on September 10th to find out how America can re-energize its economy through the development of clean energy technologies.
