Norwich Bulletin-<\/em>\u00a0\u201cOur view: Energy bill deserves bipartisan support\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCap-and-trade has come to take on a negative connotation. It shouldn\u2019t. Connecticut, along with the other New England states, has been actively involved in the sale of emission allowances for several years \u2014 successfully, and profitably.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cEssentially, we get cleaner air, less harmful pollutants damaging the environment, less dependency on fossil fuels, more jobs created through emerging alternative energy programs, less debt passed on to future generations and ultimately, cheaper energy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Huffington Post<\/em>– \u201cTime to Unleash American Innovation on Energy and Climate Change\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

By Lowell Feld, Communications manager of NRDC Action Fund<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to start now, with comprehensive, clean energy and climate legislation. We need to encourage the transition from a fossil-fuel, carbon-based energy economy to one powered by energy efficiency, solar, wind, and possibly even cutting-edge new technologies like microalgae-to-oil plants.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe potential for multiple, simultaneous “wins” – on national security, environment, jobs, the economy, the trade deficit, etc. – is clearly there. The only real question is, what are we waiting for to seize that potential?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0The Voices of a New Clean Energy Future is a series from individuals who understand the importance of passing comprehensive climate and clean energy legislation \u2013 business leaders, politicians, policy experts, and concerned citizens like you. EDF is proud to highlight their voices and contributions to the climate and energy debate.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
