Contact your Senators and Urge them to Strengthen and Pass the Renewable Energy Standard (RES)

Started by Alan Haggard

 Please contact your Senators and urge them to strengthen and pass the energy bill that includes a national Renewable Electricity Standard (RES). The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved the energy bill, The American Clean Energy Leadership Act, out of committee on June 17, 2009. The bill contains a 15% renewable electricity by 2020 standard, allowing for 4% of the standard to be met through energy efficiency improvements. The bill is expected to be considered by the full Senate this fall.
 
Please urge your Senators to strengthen the RES and take advantage of the historic opportunity to create new American manufacturing jobs that is presented by the rapid expansion of the global wind energy industry. We urgently need a strong RES to remain competitive with Europe and China, both of which have strong and binding renewable energy commitments, in the race to secure those jobs. With a strong RES in place, we can continue to lead the world's new energy economy, keep jobs and investment right here in the U.S. and demonstrate our commitment to solving global climate change.
