This July: Demand Energy Independence
About half of the electricity generated in the United States comes from coal. Of all our sources of energy, coal is the dirtiest and it is America's single biggest source of global warming emissions. Fortunately, we have an abundance of home-grown, clean energy sources that we can tap into—we just have to make the transition off dirty coal to cleaner energy. Who has the power to make this happen? Your senators do, and they happen to be at home in your state right now!  Take action today to make sure they hear loud and clear that what you want for Independence Day is cleaner energy.
