Clinton: Environment a Top Issue in 2008

Monday April 23, 3:06 AM

Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday that it's critical to repair damage to the environment and urged young people to make it a top issue during the presidential campaign.

"Today is Earth Day, and I personally believe every day should be Earth Day," the New York senator and Democratic presidential candidate said in Iowa. "We have a duty to protect God's creation and we have a responsibility to repair the damage that we do as we go on in life."

. . .

Clinton touted her plans to create a strategic energy fund, invest oil companies' "windfall profits" in renewable energy efforts and lead the nation to get 20 percent of its electricity from renewable resources by 2020.

She said she has introduced a bill that requires federal buildings to save energy and her campaign has even pledged to go carbon-neutral _ using energy efficient light bulbs and recycled paper in an effort to cut down on pollution.
