<br /> If we want energy security, then we have to reduce our appetite for fossil fuels. There 's no other way. Other issues may crowd
<br /> the headlines, but this is our fundamental challenge. Big challenges require bold action and leadership. To get the United
<br /> States off fossil fuels in this uneasy national climate of terrorism and conflict in the Persian Gulf, we must treat the issue with
<br /> the urgency and persistence it deserves. The measure of our success will be the condition in which we leave the world for the next ,
<br /> generation .—Robert Redford shown with City of Sonoma Council member Ken Brown and Petaluma Council member
<br /> Pam Torliatt at GHG bill signing, San Francisco, Summer 2002 .
