New Energy Future In The News

President Obama's campaign was powered by the energy of millions of Americans who support a clean energy future. Now, his economic recovery plan will repower America and recharge our economy by investing nearly $80 billion in solar and wind, more efficient homes and public transit.

These investments will prevent 68 million tons of global warming pollution annually, reduce oil consumption by 15 million barrels per year, and create more than 1.5 million clean energy jobs across the nation.

I want to thank the president, U.S. Rep. Bill Foster and Sens. Durbin and Burris for passing this bill into law, and helping bring America one important step closer to solving global warming and a future powered by 100 percent clean electricity.
