英國石油公司在墨西哥灣的石油泄漏已達到美國海岸。他們正忙著尋找修復方法。不得不承認是對石油的巨大需求導致了這一災難性事件。我們必須取消對大型石油和其他化石燃料的依賴，以保護我們的后代及國家的未來。
    使用太陽能熱水平均每戶每年可節省約75加侖石油。150萬英畝煤炭開采土地和山區可產生5330億千瓦電力， 而同樣面積的太陽能電池板可產生10000億千瓦。而資源是不會永遠可依賴的。這些不可再生資源產生的有害毒素對我們的星球造成了永久性損害。太陽是天然資源，清潔，有效，而且取之不盡用之不竭。
    美國擁有世界上最大的13個光伏能源項目中的9個。有了美國政府和民眾的幫助，美國不僅可成為一個能源獨立的國家，而且也能成為一個清潔能源的國家。每一步接近綠色的足跡都可減少我們的碳排量，并為未來提供一個干凈的環境。

    The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has reached America’s shores. As they scramble to find ways to repair the damages there must be acceptance that the demands for oil lead to this catastrophic event. By removing our dependency on Big Oil and other fossil fuels we are preserving our nation for generations to come.

    Using solar power for hot water saves about 75 gallons of oil per year per household.
533 billion kilowatts is produced from 1.5 million acres of coal mined land and mountains. 10,000 billion kilowatts of solar energy could be produced on an equivalent area using solar panels. The resources that we are currently reliant on will not last forever. The harmful toxins produced from collecting these non-renewable resources are causing permanent damage to our planet. The sun is natural resource that is clean and effective, and it will be available for thousands of years to come.

    The United States has 9 of the world’s 13 largest photovoltaic energy projects. With the help of the US Government and American citizens our country can become not only an energy independent country but a clean energy independent country. Every step closer to becoming green reduces our carbon footprint and provides a clean environment for the future.
