If strengthened, the American Clean Energy and Security Act offers our country the most important opportunity in generations to create millions of new, well-paying jobs, boost renewable energy production and limit global warming pollution. En route to the House floor, many of the bill’s stronger initial provisions were weakened, however, leading some like CCAN, MoveOn, and the Sierra Club to call for the bill to be strengthened.
Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection has not taken that path. The group has ardently supported the bill throughout the process and Al Gore will hold a conference call tomorrow night at 8pm to explain his support and “to build urgency around this bill and make sure it passes.”
