Congress is in the midst of an historic attempt to spur a transition to a clean energy economy and away from our over-reliance on fossil fuels—creating jobs and fighting global warming at the same time. Now that the House has passed a climate bill it is up to the Senate to act.
Your senator is hearing daily from opposing voices, among them far-right bloggers and talk radio hosts, who do not believe global warming is real and want to keep our nation hooked on dirty fossil fuels. It is time for us to demand that the Senate act swiftly to combat global warming and usher in an era of clean renewable energy. The world cannot wait.
The Senate must craft a bill that sets science-based caps on carbon emissions. Furthermore, senators must make some important changes from the House's approach. One of the most important is to not allow old dirty coal plants most responsible for carbon emissions to continue business as usual. It is past time for these facilities to clean up or shut down so that emission-free alternatives can compete.
Shifting away from the fossil fuels that cause global warming will create good new jobs for millions of Americans. The U.S. can either be a leader in the clean technology revolution that will follow or miss the boat as other countries act more swiftly, secure the jobs and dominate the markets.
As President Obama has said, the time for delay has passed. We are now at a crossroads with a choice between responsibly addressing the problem now or dealing with severe consequences later.
We must act quickly on energy legislation that will create millions of jobs and protect our environment. Tell your senator there is not a moment to waste. Take action today! action.earthjustice.org/campai...77bkike
