No time for Congress vacation
We've heard lots of talk about energy lately. Last week, the U.S. Congress left Washington without addressing the energy crisis. They didn't deal with gas prices. They didn't move on solutions to climate change. What's worse, their inability to renew the clean energy tax credits means that government incentive programs to support the solar and wind industries will expire at the end of this year. Jobs will be lost as a result of their inaction. It's time we do some talking of our own. Please take a few minutes to send a letter to the editor at your local newspaper. These letters are important. They get read by millions of people each day. They inform what talk show hosts cover on TV. Your comments could fuel a debate on the evening news. And they are an easy way to reach Members of Congress -- who are all home for the summer and read the opinion pages of the paper each day. America can generate 100% of our electricity from clean sources -- and we can do it within ten years. We can make the shift to renewable energy sources -- rebuilding our economy and cutting fuel costs. In a year when 'change' has become a refrain, let's make sure they know what real change looks like. Letters to the editor in support of the oil industry are showing up all across the country -- a clear sign of an orchestrated campaign to maintain the status quo. We need to respond -- to make sure the media stops focusing on simplistic and misleading proposals that will worsen our economy. Please -- send a short note. It should take just a few minutes and could make a huge difference in the public debate. It's time we do some talking of our own. Please take a few minutes to send a letter to the editor at your local newspaper:
