The world that our children will inherit depends on what we do now. Fossil fuels are running out. Polar ice caps are melting. Human health is adversely affected. Weather patterns are changing.

"The central importance of renewable energy is without question."
Thomas E. Lovejoy, president The H. John Heinz III Center for Science, Economics, and the Environment

"The Earth is warmer since 1975 than any other 30-year period in 2000 years, mountain glaciers are melting rapidly, sea levels are rising, heat waves are at record levels and plants and animals are changing in response to the warming. Most knowledgeable climate researchers acknowledge that there is a 'discernible impact' of human activities on climate. Actions taken now and over the next generation can dramatically reduce dangers that our children and grandchildren would otherwise face if we took no actions to slow down the dumping of our wastes in the atmosphere. "Energy efficiency, renewable alternatives and other technological investments are sorely needed to reduce climatic and health risks of business as usual. It is everybody's business to get on with this urgent necessity."

Dr. Stephen Schneider / Environmental science and policy professor / Stanford University

"We could put an energy infrastructure in place over the next decade that could increase the productivity and efficiency of the U.S. energy system by at least 30 percent, with a similar level of pollution reduction." 'Beyond Fossil Fuels' Sierra Magazine

	"The most obvious bold national project that [the President] could launch now - his version of the race to the moon - would be a program for energy independence, based on developing renewable resources, domestic production and energy efficiency."
	Thomas L. Friedman / New York Times

"Renewable resources are inexhaustible." Office of Power Technologies / U.S. Department of Energy

	"More than 700,000 jobs would be created by 2010 and more than 1.3 million jobs generated by 2020 by investing in renewable energy technologies."
	The Tellus Institute, provided by The Wilderness Society

"With even a modest amount of global warming...thousands of species, from lichens and mosses to penguins, polar bears, and reindeer, could be lost."
Edward O. Wilson / scientist and Pulitzer Prize author / The Future of Life

	"Climate change threatens international peace and stability."
	Mikhail Gorbachev, president and founder / Green Cross International
