What's New

Environment America Commends States as "America's Clean Energy Stars"

On Nov. 14th, Environment America was joined by Congressman Ed Markey (Mass.) and environmental allies to tout the role states have played in moving America toward a cleaner and more secure energy future. Simultaneously, in more than a dozen states, we were joined by Governors, legislative leaders and top energy and environmental regulators in calling on Congress to follow the lead of the states by adopting a strong energy bill that saves energy, ramps up renewable energy and begins to reduce our nation’s oil consumption.

Don’t let the Senate drop the ball on clean energy. Tell your senators that the health of our environment and our economy depend on a thriving renewable energy industry and that we cannot let congressional gridlock to bring progress on clean energy to a screeching halt.
