Doing nothing is not an option
This week, the Energy & Commerce Committee begins work on the American Clean Energy & Security Act (H.R. 2454). This comprehensive clean energy plan will create the industries of tomorrow and millions of new American jobs.
At a time when America has lost millions of jobs, it’s clear that we need to start moving in a new direction. Saying “no” or supporting the status quo is not an option.
But without a clear signal from the federal government about the direction of our energy future, investors and entrepreneurs won’t make any new investments. This means that new construction, new opportunities and new jobs won’t happen until Congress acts. In other words, we need Congress to send a clear signal that clean, low-carbon energy sources will power this country in the 21st century.
The American Clean Energy & Security Act is a strong start. It’s exactly the kind forward looking policy that will make the U.S. a leader in the clean energy technologies of the future.
Call Rep. Upton at (202) 225-3761. Tell him to support the American Clean Energy & Security Act.

Big Oil's got the fattest wallet in the world
Big Oil is attempting to mislead the public and scare members of Congress into voting against comprehensive clean energy legislation. Check out the below radio ad, which highlights the profit-driven motivations behind the oil industry’s staunch opposition to energy reform and calls on Americans to ignore the lies coming from the richest, dirtiest, most insidious industry in America.
Recently, a oil industry front group launched a series of false and misleading radio ads in nearly a dozen congressional districts. Click here for more information.
