Clean energy jobs for America

Doing nothing is not an option

This week, the Energy & Commerce Committee begins work on the American Clean Energy & Security Act (H.R. 2454). This comprehensive clean energy plan will create the industries of tomorrow and millions of new American jobs.

At a time when America has lost millions of jobs, it’s clear that we need to start moving in a new direction. Saying “no” or supporting the status quo is not an option.

But without a clear signal from the federal government about the direction of our energy future, investors and entrepreneurs won’t make any new investments. This means that new construction, new opportunities and new jobs won’t happen until Congress acts. In other words, we need Congress to send a clear signal that clean, low-carbon energy sources will power this country in the 21st century.

The American Clean Energy & Security Act is a strong start. It’s exactly the kind forward looking policy that will make the U.S. a leader in the clean energy technologies of the future.

Call Rep. Ross (202) 225-3772. Tell him to support the American Clean Energy & Security Act.

President discusses energy bill in weekly address

Rep. Ross discusses energy policy at town hall

As the Ashley County Ledger reported today, Rep. Ross was asked about energy policy at a town hall meeting in Ashley County yesterday.

In response to another question from Murphy about the administration's cap and trade bill, Ross said that only an outline of the bill has been prepared, not a full bill, and he does not yet know what he will do on the proposal.

The fact is that the American Clean Energy & Security Act, which is currently before the House Energy & Commerce Committee, is a comprehensive clean energy plan that will boost the production of alternative energy, increase the efficiency of our buildings and homes and stimulate trillions of dollars of private investment in new technologies and new industries. By shifting to cleaner, cheaper energy sources we can build the industries of future and create millions of new American jobs.

Call Rep. Ross (202) 225-3772 and ask him to support the American Clean Energy & Security Act.
