| In 2004, Congress and the Bush administration proposed an energy policy that included $52 billion in subsidies, two-thirds of which would have benefited fossil fuels and nuclear power. Proponents of this energy policy argue that investing in fossil fuels and nuclear power are essential for a healthy and vibrant economy. They also contend that a renewable energy standard, requiring a certain percentage of our electricity come fromrenewables, will cost us jobs and increase costs to consumers. | |

| The growing threat of global warming, air and water pollution, and rising energy costs are a few of the many problems that result from our current over-reliance on petroleum-based transportation fuels. Alternative transportation fuels, in conjunction with an array of other energy-related strategies, have the potential to help mitigate these problems—if public policy prioritizes those fuels that can deliver the greatest benefit for the environment and the American people. | |

| America is the largest consumer of energy in the world. Almost half of the energy we use—10 percent of the energy in the world—powers our buildings.1 Most of this energy comes from burning fossil fuels. Our reliance on these fuels makes us vulnerable to supply disruptions, contributes to global warming and other environmental problems, and is becoming increasingly expensive. | |
