Today the 110th Congress made a down payment on a new energy future.
It
is time to start investing in America’s vast reserves of renewable
energy resources and energy efficiency technologies. By harnessing
renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and clean biofuels, we can
secure our economy and create jobs. By promoting technologies to save
energy, we can dramatically reduce our dependence on oil and save
consumers money.
We also commend Speaker Pelosi’s commitment to
building a new energy future, and look forward to working with Congress
to continue to move America’s energy policy in this new direction well
beyond the first 100 hours.
More than ever, America needs a
new direction on energy policy. With the passage of the CLEAN Energy
Act of 2007, Congress has sent a clear message that they are ready to
start solving our energy problems.
