Environmentalists for Obama/Edwards

I'd like to meet:

___________________________________________________________ Edwards Increases Efforts To Fight Global Warming; Announces Campaign Will Be Carbon Neutral ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ John Edwards was first to announce a carbon neutral campaign. "Global warming is an emergency. It requires international action to solve it, but we can't wait for the next president to get started. Everyone can take responsibility in big ways and small to reduce their impact on global warming." – John Edwards ___________________________________________________________E nergy and the Environment

Bell Labs invented the solar cell in New Jersey in 1954, but today 90 percent of solar panels are manufactured overseas. GM made the first modern electric car, but today Toyota and Honda lead the world in hybrid cars. Oil companies are slow to sell alternative fuels at their gas stations, while Brazil increased the share of new cars that run on ethanol from 4 percent to 70 percent in only three years. [Economist, 3/10/2007; HybridCars.com, 2007; GM, 2007; Edmunds.com, 2007; Khosla, 2006] ___________________________________________________________ John Edwards believes that American entrepreneurs, farmers and manufacturers can lead the world in technology to generate clean, reliable energy and use it more efficiently. "Clean tech" is the hottest new area of venture capital funding. California-based Tesla Motors sells an electric roadster that gets 135 miles a gallon and can go from 0-to-60 in four seconds. In rural America, hundreds of small renewable energy companies are generating new jobs in ethanol and other biofuels, wind, and solar. The increased demand for the machinery of renewable energy -- such as wind turbines, solar panels and biomass engines -- is an opportunity to create "green collar" jobs and reenergize America's manufacturing sector.
