The 2009 National Environmental Scorecard illustrates the extent to which the Obama administration and the 111th Congress began to move our nation towards a new energy future that will reinvigorate our economy, create jobs, make America more energy independent and protect the planet from global warming pollution. In the most sweeping accomplishment, the U.S. House passed the landmark American Clean Energy and Security Act, which marked the first time that comprehensive global warming and clean energy legislation passed either chamber of Congress.

The 2009 Scorecard covers other key issues, such as public lands, water     quantity and quality, forest management, offshore drilling, wildlife       conservation at home and abroad, chemical security and population.         Going forward, the biggest single step that Congress can take in 2010           is to finish the excellent work started in the House by swiftly passing a             comprehensive clean energy and climate bill. As the second session of                   the 111th Congress gets underway, the League of Conservation                       Voters’ top priority is to work with Congress to do just that.
