Call your members of Congress NOW to demand new, clean
energy.
Take Action.
Dear Jan,
I need your help. Will you make a call?
Congress will consider energy legislation this week. Of course, the
oil industry is pushing its "drill, drill" slogan with all its might -- and
some are hoping to use this for political advantage.
Meanwhile, tax credits for investments in solar and wind power have
not been extended, and the growing renewables business that just made America
the largest producer of wind power in the world, is on the verge of shutting
down huge planned projects all over the country.
Billions in private investment, thousands of megawatts of new,
clean energy, and more than 100,000 new jobs expected for 2009 will be lost.
We face a stark choice: subsidize old, dirty energy or invest in
new, clean energy. This should be easy, but the influence of the oil lobby is
deep -- they've already spent more than $100 million in lobbying and
advertising this year. Please call your members of Congress now and tell them
to pass legislation that will Repower America.

Washington is being diverted by all the political noise around
"drill, drill" away from what really will make a difference -- building a new,
clean energy future. Projects in the pipeline that will power millions of homes
will be canceled, setting us back for years, if Congress doesn't do the right
thing now. Congress needs to hear from all of us.
Click here to make a quick call today.
Thank you so much,
Al Gore
