> “Other nations are moving ahead rapidly to capture the clean energy jobs of the future, which is why it is so important for Congress to pass a comprehensive climate and clean energy bill this year. By some estimates, such a bill could result in millions of jobs across the country.”

> “The longer Congress takes to act, the further behind we will be in our efforts to achieve energy independence.”

 *The Voices of a New Clean Energy Future is a series from individuals who understand the importance of passing comprehensive climate and clean energy legislation – business leaders, politicians, policy experts, and concerned citizens like you.
