Repower America

As the U.S. Senate considers historic energy legislation, we're calling on Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow to work to pass a strong bill that will repower America with clean energy and stop global warming before it’s too late.

In June, the U.S. House passed the  American Clean Energy and Security Act, a historic bill that takes an important step toward a clean energy economy. Now we're helping to organize support to overcome the powerful opposition of the oil and coal industries and other special interests and convince the Senate to take strong action to repower America.

Send an e-mail to Sens. Levin and Stabenow. Ask them to commit to support a strong bill that will repower America with clean energy, protect our environment, and help rebuild our economy.

It’s time to repower America.

We’re working to cut global warming pollution 35 percent by 2020, make the big polluters pay for their mess, and invest in clean energy, efficiency and our future.

Consider that:

• Enough wind blows in just four states — Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota — to supply all the electricity that America uses in a year.

• Enough sun shines on just nine percent of one state -- Nevada -- to supply all the electricity that America uses in a year.

• Money invested in making our buildings more efficient creates seven times more jobs than investing the same amount in coal.

• We can put thousands of Michiganders back to work — building wind turbines, installing solar panels, making more hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars, and helping us save energy in our homes.

President Obama’s plan would:

• Cut global warming emissions from power plants and other sources.

• Hold big oil, the coal industry and other polluters accountable, and make them pay for their pollution.

• Invest this money in clean energy, energy efficiency, our families and our future.
