“Coalition for the Green Bank Claims Green Bank/ Clean Energy Deployment Administration Will Offset Energy Cost Increases, Job Losses, Contradicting ACCF-NAM Commissioned Study”
(August 14, 2009, Washington DC)
The Coalition for the Green Bank today refuted claims made in an economic impact study commissioned by the American Council for Capital Formation (ACCF) and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) asserting that the American Clean Energy and Security Act would result in significant job losses and steep increases in the price of electricity and natural gas for several industrial states. According to the Coalition, the ACCF-NAM study does not take into account the expected reduction of electricity costs as a result of the Green Bank/Clean Energy Deployment Administration (CEDA), as proposed in the Act...

“Green Bank/ Clean Energy Deployment Administration Can Protect Consumers from Any Electricity Price Increases. According to Coalition for the Green Bank”
(August 4, 2009, Washington DC)
According to the Coalition for the Green Bank, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) draft analysis issued today makes the case for chartering a Green Bank/Clean Energy Deployment Administration already included in the House energy bill and the Senate Energy Committee bill. The EIA, while projecting electricity price increases to U.S. electricity customers under climate legislation passed by the House last month, itself admitted that it did not analyze the effects of CEDA and that CEDA "may have the most significant potential to alter the reported results."
“EIA is exactly right,” stated Reed Hundt, Co-Chair of the Coalition for the Green Bank, “CEDA's low-cost financing can protect consumers state by state from any electricity price increases as well as create millions of new jobs converting our nation from carbon to clean as the basis of our economy.”
