The Apollo Alliance offers some insight:
President Bush and Congress are deciding how to spend up to $150 billion of our hard-earned tax dollars to stimulate the economy. The question is: will they spend the money to jump-start our clean energy industries, create good jobs, and build a cleaner, brighter future for our children, or will they let special interests once again block the progress we badly need?
Please take action now. Click here to urge your Congressional representatives to support an economic stimulus package that expands renewable energy, reduces energy costs for homeowners and businesses, and creates good jobs for working Americans.
In December, Big Oil’s lobbyists blocked a tax package to fund energy efficiency and expand renewable energy. That clean energy tax package is essential to America’s future. Without it, the wind, solar, and geothermal industries could start to lay off tens of thousands of workers in coming weeks. Without it, American consumers and businesses will pay more for energy, and fewer Americans will be put to work weatherizing homes and businesses.
Congress needs to do the math!
Clean energy = New Business Opportunities + Green-collar Jobs.
Clean energy is good for consumers, good for workers, and good for America.
