Take Action to Help Pass a Cap on Global Warming Pollution

Capping carbon pollution encourages the growth of renewable energy and energy-efficient industries. It brings customers to these businesses, which in turn will create good jobs and help revitalize American towns.

Imagine a place like Braddock, Pennsylvania, with new investments to supply clean energy industries. Once workers start bringing home paychecks, they start buying again. Making wind turbines is hungry work. The diner and the grocery store get busy again. The diner and grocery hire more workers. Those workers need clothes and cars and computers. Suddenly a dying town is a thriving community again.

Take action today to send your members of Congress a message: Carbon Cap = Hard Hats = Economic Renewal

Capping carbon pollution encourages the growth of renewable energy and energy-efficient industries. It brings customers to these businesses, which in turn will create good jobs and help revitalize American towns.

Imagine a place like Braddock, Pennsylvania. Once a thriving steel town where for generations, good jobs were plentiful. But as the American steel industry suffered, so did Braddock. It's population dropped from about 20,000 to just 2,800 today.

With new investments to supply clean energy industries, Braddock, and hudreds of towns just like it, can come back. Once workers start bringing home paychecks, they start buying again. Making wind turbines is hungry work. The diner and the grocery store get busy again. The diner and grocery hire more workers. Those workers need clothes and cars and computers. Suddenly a dying town is a thriving community again.

I urge you to support a cap on America's global warming pollution because it will not only deal with the threat of runaway global warming, it will help rebuild America.

In short, a carbon cap = hard hats = economic renewal.

Thank you.
