Ensure New Global Warming Act Remains Strong
Democratic Representatives Henry Waxman and Ed Markey have just introduced the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 into Congress. The act is comprehensive energy legislation that, if passed, will create millions of new clean energy jobs, save consumers hundreds of billions of dollars in energy costs, enhance America's energy independence and cut global warming pollution.
The discussion draft of the bill sets a nationwide standard for renewable electricity production, establishes a federal low carbon fuel standard and calls for a 20 percent cut in overall emissions from 2005 levels by 2020, among other things.
Sign on to support the Democrats' efforts to tackle global warming! Urge your Representative to ensure that the strictest energy standards are maintained throughout the House discussion of the bill!
Dear Representative,
I was excited to hear of the recently introduced American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, and I am thrilled to see Congress tackle comprehensive energy legislation that will create millions of new clean energy jobs, save consumers hundreds of billions of dollars in energy costs, enhance America's energy independence and cut global warming pollution.
Legislation like this is critical in addressing the growing problem of global warming. I care deeply about our planet and its inhabitants, which is why I urge you to ensure that the strictest energy standards are maintained throughout the House discussion of the bill.
