Call to action: Clean Energy Revolution!

Our dependence on dirty sources of energy – like oil and coal – threatens our health, our economy and the future of our great outdoors.  While we work alongside President Obama and leaders in Congress to build a clean energy economy, oil and coal companies are fighting us every step of the way.

Together, we can stop them. President Obama has a plan that would put thousands of Minnesotans to work building wind-farms, installing solar panels and developing energy efficient homes.  We can create jobs and cut global warming pollution.

President Obama has called for a clean energy revolution. Reps. Henry Waxman, Ed Markey and other leaders in Congress are working to deliver on that promise through the American Clean Energy and Security Act, the bill that we hope will drive the creation of a clean energy economy and cap the pollution that’s causing global warming.

The bill isn’t perfect. But it does reduce the pollution that’s fueling global warming, drive the transition towards a clean energy future and include a plan to get every new building to meet a “zero-energy” standard within a generation.

Call your members of Congress that you want them to work for a clean energy economy.

MESSAGE:  I am a constituent of Representative X and I support HR 2454 – the American Clean Energy and Security Act. We need a strong version of this legislation to reduce global warming pollution and build the new energy economy.  Does Rep. X support the American Clean Energy and Security Act?

Report what you find out from your call back to us at michelle.rosier@sierraclub.org.
