Help create five million new jobs by strategically investing $150 billion over the next ten years to catalyze private efforts to build a clean energy future.
Within 10 years save more oil than we currently import from the Middle East and Venezuela combined.
Put 1 million Plug-In Hybrid cars -- cars that can get up to 150 miles per gallon -- on the road by 2015, cars that we will work to make sure are built here in America.
Ensure 10 percent of our electricity comes from renewable sources by 2012, and 25 percent by 2025.
Implement an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050.

To achieve the long-term target of “halving the world’s emissions by 2050”,
- development of innovative energy technologies is dispensable.
- Japan should lead with its world’s top level energy technologies.
To this end, this program identifies technologies which should be tackled by priority, creates road maps and considers international cooperation.

Improving energy efficiency: The goal is to improve energy efficiency by more than 2 % per annum, so that when compared with the level in 2005, energy intensity will decrease 20% by 2015. Supplemented by further technological breakthroughs and proper administrative measures, energy intensity will decrease 50% by 2025.
Developing clean energy: (1) Reduce nationwide CO2
emission, so that total emission could return to its 2008 level between 2016-2020, and be further reduced to the level of 2000 in 2025.
(2) Increase the share of low carbon energy in electricity generation systems from the current 40% to 55% in 2025.
Securing stable energy supply: Build a secure energy supply system to meet economic development goals, such as 6% annual economic growth rate from 2008 to 2012, and 30,000 USD per capita income by 2015.
