This is exciting folks! We are on the edge of a staggering wave of growth potential. This is a time of great opportunity for our country, the opportunity to:

-Create Jobs: The clean energy industry produces 1 million new domestic jobs per $50 billion of investment according to the Center for American Progress

-Drive Investment: $10 billion in spending by the CEDA/Green Bank projects to drive $200 billion in investment in the clean energy industry

-Further National Security Objectives: A domestic clean energy industry would lessen our dependence on foreign sources of energy, which often come from countries at cross purposes with our objectives

-Win the Next Great Global Challenge: China is investing $9 billion per month in clean energy according to Secretary Steven Chu, a figure that means the entire clean energy supply chain is in danger of becoming a source of foreign dependence for the US unless we act soon

This is an opportunity, not a burden!!!
