Clean Energy Economy
The nation to harness the power of clean, renewable energy will be the nation that leads the 21st century. Today, we export billions of dollars each year to import the energy we need to power our country. Our dependence on foreign oil threatens our national security, our environment and our economy. We must make the investments in clean energy sources that will put Americans back in control of our energy future, create millions of new jobs and lay the foundation for long-term economic security.
President Obama has already taken significant steps to lay down the bricks of a comprehensive strategy that will pave the way toward a clean energy future for our country.

Climate Change

This is a global problem, and the Obama Administration is committed to leading the charge in a global effort to reduce the dangerous pollution that causes global warming, and to make the investments in the clean energy technology that will power sustainable growth moving into the future.

Our Environment
The Obama Administration is committed to protecting our country’s air, waters, lands, and ecosystems. From restoring ecosystems in the Chesapeake Bay and the Everglades to reducing the impacts of mountaintop mining, we are bringing together Federal agencies to tackle our biggest environmental challenges.
