This nation can no longer defer serious action to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels. We urgently need to confront the challenge of developing a 21st century energy policy, both as a matter of national security — to reduce our dependence on foreign oil — and to combat the profound danger of global warming.

“President Bush’s environmental record is a disgrace. He has betrayed the public trust and is mortgaging our children’s future. The President and his staff of co-opted lobbyists are the true environmental radicals – there is nothing conservative about turning over our public resources to special interests. President Bush has rolled back rules that keep our air and water safe, pushed to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling, worked to increase logging and mining on public lands, left taxpayers with the tab for toxic waste cleanups, and walked away from efforts to address global warming. In light of this record, the non-partisan League of Conservation Voters has concluded that ‘George W. Bush has compiled the worst environmental record in the history of our nation.’”
