| We strongly support the Speaker in her effort to create a new energy future for our nation. Unfortunately the Speaker’s proposal also considers opening our protected coasts to offshore drilling. This piece of the proposal we must oppose. | |
| Senator Obama's New Energy for America plan provides a real roadmap for changing the direction of our nation's energy policy. After nearly eight years of heading in the wrong direction, there has never been a more important time to jump start a clean energy economy. America is at an energy crossroads and this plan takes the smarter, cleaner energy path. | |

Because solar thermal energy storage allows electric generating capacity even when the sun is not shining, it can replace traditional energy sources like coal, natural gas and nuclear power. | |
| President Bush today announced a new goal of stopping the growth of U.S. global warming emissions by 2025. Yet, in 2007, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that global emissions must peak no later than 2015 to prevent catastrophic effects of global warming. | |
