Coalition for Green Capital

As 2010 begins, Congress is presented with a tremendous opportunity to dramatically improve the future of the clean energy industry in the United States. Before the year is out, we have the opportunity to include mechanisms for financing energy efficiency and conventional energy projects in the Senate version of the upcoming Jobs Bill, the House version of the upcoming Jobs Bill and a final Energy/Environment Bill in the Senate. By providing low-cost financing for these projects, we can leverage public funds to stimulate private investment in the clean energy sector, creating millions of jobs. As we move into the new year, we need your help to make sure that Congress hears you. You can make your voice heard through four easy steps:

1. Go to http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

2. Find your Senator's contact info on the easy to use list and click on the link under their name that says "Webform"

3. Tell your Senators that you want to see the future of the clean energy industry in America ensured through the passage of a comprehensive Energy and Environment bill in the US Senate

4. Then tell your Congressman to be sure to include the Green Bank/CEDA in any House Jobs Bill at https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml

We'd also like to hear your ideas directly. Send me an email at coalitionforthegreenbank2010@gmail.com, and let me know what you're thinking. Best practices, suggestions, comments; feel free to get in touch with me with your thoughts.

Happy New Year to you and your family, and let's help make this the year that we secure our domestic clean energy future here in the United States.
