National day of action on clean energy

Dear American Friends -

At a time when we should be throwing everything we have into clean energy, your Congress is at a stalemate. The House and Senate have each passed versions of a bill to extend clean energy tax credits that the other side finds distasteful. And now here we are, with renewable energy projects being put on hold, jobs being lost, and investment dollars moving overseas.

There’s a compromise bill getting ready to move (HR6049; summarized here (pdf)), and the only thing that is going to break the deadlock is public pressure. Congress needs to feel that this is acutely important to their constituents, and to that end, we helped organize a National Day of Action on Clean Energy. Today, over 100 organizations and companies are planning to raise as much ruckus as possible. Will you add your voice?

Many thanks, friends. This is the only way that the job is going to get done.
