Actions taken at the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Summit in Seattle include stepping up programs to weatherize buildings, capture methane gas from landfills, switch municipal fleets to hybrids, promote mass transit and buy cleaner electricity.
Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels cited the " ... failure of our federal government to step up," and NY's Bloomberg added that "Green energy is going to be the oil gusher of the 21st century."
The 728 mayors cities house 1/4 of the nation's population.
