We need to build a clean energy future that will break our dependence on oil, create millions of new jobs, and cut global warming pollution. President-elect Barack Obama has pledged to make clean energy one of his top priorities. But we know from experience that real change doesn’t just happen and we cannot underestimate the power of the oil and coal industries and the legislators who support them. Please urge the new president to propose a plan in the first 100 days of his administration that will Repower, Refuel, and Rebuild America. UCS will also deliver this petition to your members of Congress.

Help build a clean energy future that curbs global warming
Sign this petition to [Decision Maker],
It's time to Repower, Refuel, and Rebuild America. We need to get our economy moving again by building a clean energy future. We applaud your efforts to make energy a top priority and urge you to adopt these goals: * Move to 100 percent clean electricity: Generate power from clean sources such as wind and solar and reduce electricity demand with energy efficient buildings and homes. * Cut our dependence on oil in half: Improve vehicle efficiency; use electricity instead of oil to power our cars; and invest in public transportation. * Create 5 million new clean energy jobs: Invest in clean energy technologies and infrastructure that will require new engineers as well as factory, construction, and administrative workers. * Reduce global warming pollution by at least 80 percent Set a firm national limit on global warming pollution, charging polluters for their heat-trapping emissions and using the revenue to invest in a clean energy future. We call on you to introduce a plan in your first 100 days that will reach these goals and to utilize the federal budget and any economic recovery package to get us started.
