Green Energy: Economic Action to create a green energy future
  

Building A Clean Energy Future

Green is Good NewsOur dependence on foreign fossil fuels negatively impacts people, communities and the environment. As a result of our fossil fuel use we face the risks of air pollution, mining hazards, oil spills and mountain top removal mining. Alarmingly, the list doesn't stop there as we must consider fossil fuel extraction's impact on national security, the war in Iraq, and global warming.

The good news: renewable energy sources-wind, solar, biomass and geothermal-are more than capable of supplying a significant portion of our energy needs.

Renewable energy technologies yield significant environmental, economic, and energy security benefits, reducing our dependence on coal, nuclear energy, and foreign oil.

Green America's Green Energy program helps you fuel your own green energy shift, with ideas and information that can help make clean, sustainable energy a reality for your family and your community. We bring you the best ideas on energy conservation and efficiency, and the latest on renewable energy technologies that are available to use right now.
