Emerging clean energy industries, such as wind and solar power, are not only taking steps to solve global warming and America's energy problems. They're creating good jobs that help the economy. Promoting these industries is a no-brainer.

So why is Congress about to leave town without renewing the most critical program for these industries?

Recent actions and results

Environment America was successful in persuading the International Codes Council to increase the energy efficiency of their national model codes. The 2009 IECC will make new homes up to 20 percent more energy efficient.

More state action

The Maryland House of Delegates recently passed House Bill 315, Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act. The bill requires Maryland to reduce its global warming pollution 25 percent below 2006 levels by the year 2020. These reductions will be achieved through energy efficiency programs, increased transportation options, recycling, and incentives for green buildings, as well as pre-existing provisions established in the Healthy Air Act and the Clean Cars Act. Environment Maryland championed this bill and applauds the efforts of the Maryland State Government to reduce global warming pollution.
