Chris Dodd for President

Senator Dodd just released this statement:

"For the sake of both our economy and our national security, we must break our addiction to Middle East oil by investing in new, clean and reliable fuels we can cultivate right here using the ingenuity of the American worker. "This is not the time for half-measures and dancing around the edges. We need leadership that will act with honesty and conviction to do what needs to be done to meet this challenge. "By dramatically increasing fuel standards and enacting a Corporate Carbon Tax that would invest in alternative energy, the Dodd Energy Plan would break our addiction to Middle East oil and help make energy more affordable for our families."

The Dodd energy plan aims to reduce 80% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, raise fuel economy standards in automobiles to 50 mpg, and enact a Corporate Carbon Tax to discourage corporate pollution and stimulate innovation. Read the full fourteen point plan here. Former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley says, "Chris Dodd gets it, and his energy plan reflects the fact that we need honest and bold action if we are going to be serious about ending global warming."
