Congress: Strengthen our Energy Bill!

The House Energy & Commerce Committee's vote to approve the American Clean Energy & Security Act is truly a historic victory for clean energy. This comprehensive clean energy jobs plan will help rebuild our economy, make us more energy independent, and put America on the path to slashing global warming pollution 80 percent by 2050, something necessary to protect the planet for future generations. Many never thought this day would come and I hope you will help Congress keep up its momentum on this vitally important issue after such a tremendous victory.

While the bill provides a sound framework for action on this important issue, I am disappointed with some of the concessions made during the recent negotiations.  I hope that you will work to strengthen this plan as it moves forward. There are a few main areas for improvement I hope you'll push for- including strengthening the renewable energy and energy efficiency provisions, allowing the EPA to act as crucial backstop to make sure the necessary emissions reductions are achieved in time, and shifting investments toward protecting consumers and the public interest, rather than more giveaways and bailouts for Big Oil, Big Coal, and other polluters.
