Tell the Senate: Strengthen Clean Energy Bill!

Hi neil,

 

 

We all celebrated when the House of Representatives passed the historic American Clean Energy and Security Act, designed to tackle the ever-growing problem of global warming.

 

 

Now it's time for the Senate to strengthen and then pass the House bill >>

 

 

This legislation does not include everything we wanted, but it establishes a critical first step in building the foundation to curb global warming, reduce our dependence on oil and start the transition to a clean energy economy.

 

 

To maximize the potential benefits of climate action, Senate climate legislation should improve on the House bill by, among other things:

 

strengthening the renewable electricity standard to require 25 percent of our electricity to come from renewable sources, such as the wind and sun, by 2025.

 

investing more money in renewable energy and energy efficiency programs that will save consumers money.

 

limiting "offsets," which allow polluters to postpone emissions cuts in their own facilities by paying for reductions elsewhere.

We need your help to put a strong bill over the finish line. Please urge your Senators to act quickly to strengthen and pass the House bill >>

 

 

 

Thank you,

LiAnna
