This button most likely represents the views of those who oppose America’s use of fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas) as the primary source of energy for the nation. Many believe that using oil as a source of energy come at the cost of human and environmental health problems through air pollution, damage to the land, environmental degradation, water pollution, and sickness. There are also national security impacts of fossil fuel use. During the Persian Gulf War, U.S. troops were sent to the Gulf in part to guard against a possible cutoff of the U.S.’s oil supply.
