We Can't Afford NOT To Invest In Clean Energy
Don’t let the Senate drop the
ball on clean energy. Tell your senators that the health of our environment and
our economy depend on a thriving renewable energy industry and that we cannot
let congressional gridlock to bring progress on clean energy to a screeching
halt. The House passed a bill extending incentives for clean
energy that are crucial to hundreds of new and existing renewable energy
projects and tens of thousands
of existing green jobs.

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.
