What the Environmental Champions Are Saying:
"We have a real choice here. Barack Obama has been a committed leader and has offered bold and comprehensive proposals when it comes to global warming, energy and the environment. John McCain, whose plan will be a continuation of Bush-era political gimmicks, will carry on Bush's legacy of failure when it comes to energy policy." - Former EPA Administrator Carol Browner
"In New Mexico, we refused to wait for George Bush to act on renewable energy. By investing in renewable energy, we've already created good jobs and started to break our dependence on oil. Our country's addiction on oil is a threat to our economy, our national security, and our way of life. Barack Obama will bring the change we so desperately need." - New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson
"Today's energy crisis, caused by eight years of stagnation in the Bush Administration, proves that the White House is key to moving beyond our addiction to oil. We cannot afford four more years of those policies under John McCain and the oil industry. Barack Obama will set aside special interests and bring change to our energy policy that is long overdue." - Congressman Ed Perlmutter
"The future of our country will be greatly determined by our approach to renewable energy. Our country's addiction on oil is a threat to our economy, our national security, and our way of life. Barack Obama's plan will put us on the right course to take advantage of the incredible economic and environmental benefits of clean energy." - Former Secretary of Energy Federico Peña
