2) Contact your Congressperson and the President and demand an end to the oil age and begin the Clean Energy Revolution!

Congress: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/directory/congdir.tt
(Just type in your ZIP code to find your representatives)

The White House: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact

Current energy proposals in Congress include provisions for MORE drilling, MORE coal and MORE nukes. Tell your leaders to stop supporting these dirty and dangerous energy policies and begin a national effort to be free from oil for good.

Greenpeace has recently released Energy [R]evolution 2010, a blueprint to achieving 95% renewable energy by 2050, saving hundreds of billions per year, creating jobs, and all with existing technology. The obstacles are purely political, so call or write today!
