On *Climate Progress*, CAP Senior Fellow Van Jones explains that “the next 40 years of environmental policy will be primarily economic policy as we begin to [repower America with cleaner energy](http://climateprogress.org/2010/04/22/the-new-environmentalists-wear-hard-hats).”

On *E2 Wire*, Senator Kerry asserts that now is [the time to pass a climate bill](http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/677-e2-wire/93789-kerry-2010-is-last-best-shot-at-climate-bill). “We can’t afford to wait and we’ll never have as clear a shot to reach this goal we first set out twenty years ago,” Kerry (D-Mass.) said.

On *Grist,* Dan Lashof highlights the importance of Earth Day and asserts that we need “more than a celebration. [We need a clean energy revolution](http://www.grist.org/article/we-need-a-clean-energy-revolution/) that creates 2 million jobs, cuts 2 billion tons, and saves 2 trillion dollars.”

Watch the [Clean Energy Revolution video](http://consequence09.org/) that nicely sums up our current situation.
