Overview

It’s time to repower America.
We’re working to cut global warming pollution 35 percent by 2020, make the big polluters pay for their mess, and invest in clean energy, efficiency and our future.



Consider that:

• Enough sun shines on just nine percent of one state -- Nevada -- to supply all the electricity that America uses in a year.



• Money invested in making our buildings more efficient creates seven times more jobs than investing the same amount in coal.



• We can put thousands of Missourians back to work — installing solar panels, building wind turbines, making more hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars and helping us save energy in our homes.



• Enough wind blows in just four states — Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota — to supply all the electricity that America uses in a year.

President Obama’s plan would:



• Cut global warming emissions from power plants and other sources.



• Hold big oil, the coal industry and other polluters accountable, and make them pay for their pollution.

• Invest this money in clean energy, energy efficiency, our families and our future.
