ANNOUNCER [v/o]: We all know our country faces tough challenges: a weaker economy, soaring gas prices, growing dependence on foreign oil and a worsening climate crisis.
But what many of us don't know is that there's a bold new solution for all of these challenges.
We can switch to smarter, cleaner forms of power and take advantage of free energy sources like the wind and sun. We can boost our economy, create new jobs and improve our national security.
The answer is simple: power our country with 100 percent clean electricity within 10 years. All we need is your help.

Together we can re-power America. Together we can solve the climate crisis.
