But the Energy and Commerce Committee is conducting 4 clean energy hearings this week, so here’s an easy one:

Check out Al Gore’s website or go directly to Repower America and join over 2 million people supporting 100% clean electricity by 2018!

Admittedly, it is a lofty goal, but like Confucius once reportedly said, “If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it’s OK. But you’ve got to shoot for something.”
