Earth Day 2006 marked a year of accomplishment for Democratic governors across America. Yet America can do better. Our country depends too much on foreign oil, and it only takes a glance at the sign by the neighborhood gas station to see where that’s gotten us.
It’s time to fix that. That’s why Democratic governors have taken steps to move their states toward energy independence.
We can move and must move toward energy independence. Democratic governors are leading the way toward achieving this goal -- but even more progress can happen if Republicans in Washington get on board, or get out of the way. Tell Republicans in Congress and the White House: get serious about gas prices and energy independence.
