  • Defend the Clean Air Act
  • Defend the Clean Water Act
  • The “Healthy Forests Act” supports logging, not forests
  • The “Clear Skies Act” endangers our air quality.
  • We should not drill in ANWR

We need to promote alternative energy as part of a Federal program to eliminate our dependence on foreign oil within ten years. We cannot rely on one method to achieve this, we will need a "portfolio of alternatives" to be successful.
