[R-G] Greenpeace: Flip the switch to renewable energy

[james m nordlund]

Flip the switch to renewable energy
Dear James,

You've read about it, you've probably felt the impacts of it through heat
waves, droughts, or storms (maybe even all of the above!), and now
Congress might just do something about it. Of course I'm talking about
global warming.

An energy package is moving through Congress right now. It's a small step
forward, but it doesn't have all of the tools needed to combat global
warming. In fact, there are two major pieces of the puzzle missing: higher
fuel efficiency standards for automobiles and a renewable electricity
standard.

Take Action >>Tell YOUR Representative to flip the switch to renewable
energy NOW.

Global warming has been called the greatest threat of our time. We know
that cars and electricity usage are the greatest contributors to
greenhouse gas emissions. Congress can't and won't solve this issue with
two gaping holes in their legislation.

That's why it's so important for you to contact your Representative, and
keep the pressure on. This legislation alone won't solve the problem, but
if Congress can put the right pieces in place, it will light the way
toward change. 

Your Friend, 

Kate Smolski
