On Grist<\/em>, Rep. Ed Markley shares his thoughts of the BP spill and clean energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd finally, America must move to a safer clean energy future so that we don\u2019t have to rely as much on oil to power our cars and our economy. The House has acted, passing the\u00a0Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy & Security Act<\/a>. Every day we delay action, China moves ahead in wind technology. The Germans create more solar jobs. Worst of all, American consumers send half a billion dollars a day to OPEC and countries that wish us harm.\u00a0In\u00a0overwhelming numbers<\/a>, the American people are ready to start working our way to a clean energy future. They want to wake up from BP\u2019s oil spill nightmare to a future powered by clean, safe energy solutions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

E2<\/em> has Senator Lieberman advocating for Reid to bring the climate bill to the Senate<\/a> floor.<\/p>\n

“You bring your best ideas to the floor then let the senators debate and negotiate,” he said. “And that’s what we want to see happen on the Senate floor.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
