The Energy Crisis

America's energy situation is not a partisan issue. We're all in this together. Increased dependence on foreign oil, skyrocketing oil costs, continued overconsumption of natural resources and the imminent depletion of the world's fossil fuels all factors point to one solution: Develop alternative energy sources and systems, the sooner the better.

"America needs to do much more to develop energy conservation, alternative energy technologies. And we'd actually create jobs, have more wealth and save the planet, and we'd make ourselves more independent of foreign oil. There is right now today a $1 trillion untapped market for existing alternative energy and energy conservation technologies."
- President Bill Clinton

"This Congress must act to encourage conservation, promote technology, build infrastructure, and it must act to increase energy production at home so America is less dependent on foreign oil."
- President George W. Bush
