Now is the Time to Repower, Refuel, and Rebuild America

Congress Must Pass Comprehensive Clean Energy and Climate Legislation

Read the open letter to President Obama calling for strong action on climate and energy – and see the ad!

The Energy and Commerce Committee forged a historic agreement on comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation that will now move to the full House. Passing the American Clean Energy and Security Act through the committee demonstrates the growing momentum from diverse and important regions, who came together to set a path for America's clean energy future. This bill will create millions of jobs, reduce our dependence on oil, and limit global warming pollution.

As the bill moves forward, members of Congress need to strengthen and pass legislation that will unleash investment in clean energy sources like wind and solar, increase energy efficiency to save consumers money, boost the economy, and set firm limits on global warming.

A growing group of businesses, labor unions, faith groups, veterans, environmentalists and others know that delay is not an option. We need to act now to strengthen the economy, increase our security, and protect the health of people and the planet.
