| America’s current fleet of gasoline-powered cars and trucks leaves us dependent on oil, contributes to air pollution problems that threaten our health, and produces large amounts of global warming pollution. “Plug-in” cars are emerging as an effective way to lower global warming emissions, oil use, and smog. The technology needed to build workable plug-in vehicles exists today, but it will take a coherent strategy and concerted action in order to take full advantage of the potential of plug-in vehicles. |

| Transportation is responsible for more than two-thirds of our nation’s oil consumption and nearly a third of our carbon dioxide emissions. To make us more energy independent and reduce pollution, we need to build a transportation system that uses less oil, takes advantage of alternative fuels, and shifts as much of our travel as possible from transportation modes that consume a lot of energy to those that consume less. |

| America is at an energy crossroad. As
a nation, we are dependent on fossil
fuels at a time of growing demand
and dwindling supply. Meanwhile, fossil
fuel use continues to impose massive
environmental and economic costs. Now
our country must choose between paying
to continue the status quo and investing in
a new energy future. |

| To revive the American dream, we need to rebuild our economy on a sound foundation – one that puts people back to work, contributes to long-term prosperity, rebuilds our communities, and protects our environment. There is one path to a renewed economy that achieves all of those goals—one that is increasingly recognized by opinion leaders, politicians, investors and workers as our best chance to work our way out of our current economic troubles, while building a stronger, more self-reliant and environmentally responsible America. It is the path to a clean energy future. |

| Almost half of the energy we use -- 10 percent of the energy in the world -- powers U.S. buildings. But homes and businesses exist that use a fraction of the energy of typical buildings. This paper outlines the remarkable gains available through improved building design, more efficient lighting systems, new technologies for space conditioning, minor behavioral modifications, and other ways to increase the energy efficiency of our buildings. |

| Illinois is sitting on a vast reserve of energy, waiting to be used--And it's not coal, oil or natural gas. Rather, we are rich in the potential to do more with the electricity and natural gas that we already use, through improved energy efficiency. |
