| We can save money and help solve global warming by reducing the amount of energy we use, and the best place to start is in the buildings we live and work in every day. We have the technology and skills to drastically improve the efficiency of our buildings, and we should set a goal of reducing our overall building energy consumption 35 percent by 2030 and 50 percent by 2050. | |

| Every hour, the sun radiates more energy onto the earth than the entire human population uses in one whole year. Tapping into American ingenuity to capture a tiny fraction of this pollution-free energy would put our nation and our planet on a path to long-term environmental sustainability and would help rebuild our economy by stimulating investment, creating jobs, and making us less reliant on fossil fuels. This report highlights the diversity of solar power technologies that go far beyond traditional panels. | |

| America’s current fleet of gasoline-powered cars and trucks leaves us dependent on oil, contributes to air pollution problems that threaten our health, and produces large amounts of global warming pollution. “Plug-in” cars are emerging as an effective way to lower global warming emissions, oil use, and smog. | |

| Far from being a solution to global warming, nuclear power will actually set America back in the race to reduce pollution. Nuclear power is too slow and too expensive to make enough of a difference in the next two decades. Moreover, nuclear power is not necessary to provide clean, carbon-free electricity for the long haul. | |

| This report details the dramatic growth of public transportation in 2008, and the corresponding energy and environmental benefits. These details are viewed in light of fewer miles driven in most states last year. It also documents transit growth across the country continuing into this year, highlights future potential benefits and outlines ways to improve the state of public transportation. | |

| Environment New Hampshire’s report uses government data to quantify current and projected spending on fossil fuels nationally and by state. The High Cost of Fossil Fuels: Why America Can’t Afford to Depend on Dirty Energy, includes the following findings: • New Hampshire will spend as much as $1,413 more per person every year on fossil fuels in 2030, if we stay on our current energy path. • In 2006, New Hampshire spent $3,118 per capita on fossil fuels. In 2030, that figure is expected to rise to between $3,560 and $4,530 or every man, woman, and child in the state, as much as a 45 percent increase. | |

| President Obama has in two short months set the nation in a new direction when it comes to transitioning to a clean energy economy, stopping global warming and protecting the environment. The president’s proposed federal budget makes clean energy and environmental protection cornerstones of his Fiscal Year 2010 (FY2010) budget This report details specific environmental and economic benefits from these proposals for New Hampshire, which if approved lay the groundwork for curbing global warming pollution and protecting the environment. This report visually displays examples of these benefits with a comprehensive state map. | |

| We can protect our environment and strengthen our economy by investing in clean energy and green infrastructure. A green economic recovery plan would mean less global warming pollution, fewer asthma attacks from air pollution, more clean lakes and rivers for drinking water, swimming and fishing, more secure energy in the long term, and more jobs than investing in the dirty energy technologies of the past. | |

| To revive the American dream, we need to rebuild our economy on a sound foundation – one that puts people back to work, contributes to long-term prosperity, rebuilds our communities, and protects our environment. There is one path to a renewed economy that achieves all of those goals – one that is increasingly recognized by opinion leaders, politicians, investors and workers as our best chance to work our way out of our current economic troubles, while building a stronger, more self-reliant and environmentally responsible America. It is the path to a clean energy future. | |

| Almost half of the energy we use - 10 percent of the energy in the world - powers our buildings. Most of this energy comes from burning fossil fuels. Homes and businesses exist that use a fraction of the energy of typical buildings - some also generate 100 percent or more of the energy needed to power them on-site, using renewable sources such as wind and solar power. | |

| A coalition of organizations gathered today in Concord, urging all of the presidential candidates to pledge to turn things around and put America on the clean energy path. Documenting the need, viability and support for an aggressive clean energy agenda, Environment New Hampshire released a new report by Environment America entitled, Clean Energy for America: Why the 44th President Must Put America on the Clean Energy Path. | |

| As New Hampshire’s demand for energy continues to grow on a parallel, if not accelerated, track to New Hampshire’s population growth, our state’s dependence on fossil fuels will continue to pose challenges to the state’s environment, economic health, and security. | |

| America can and must move away from our dependence on oil and other fossil fuels and toward a New Energy Future. We can do this by tapping into our abundant supplies of clean, renewable, home-grown energy sources and by deploying our technological know-how to use energy more efficiently. | |
