On
Nov. 14, Environment America was joined by Congressman Ed Markey
(Mass.) and environmental allies to tout the role states have played in
moving America toward a cleaner and more secure energy future. Simultaneously, in more than a dozen states, we were joined by governors, legislative leaders and top energy and environmental
regulators in calling on Congress to follow the lead of the states by
adopting a strong energy bill that saves energy, ramps up renewable
energy and begins to reduce our nation’s oil consumption.
How You Can Help
We can’t afford NOT to invest in clean energy.
Don’t let the Senate drop the ball on clean energy. Tell Senators Warner and Webb that the health of our environment and our economy depend on a thriving renewable energy industry and that we cannot let congressional gridlock bring progress on clean energy to a screeching halt.
Brief Summary
Dramatic improvements in energy efficiency are possible in virtually
every aspect of American life. We can encourage weatherization of
buildings, deployment of more efficient appliances and equipment, and
efficiency improvements in industry. EnergyStar-certified homes use 30
percent less energy than other homes.
