Tell Congress to Support Clean Energy!

Mirza · Feb 12, 2007

H.R. 969 creates a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) requiring utilities to generate or buy 20 percent clean, renewable energy by 2020. This bill would create a large and growing market for clean and truly renewable sources of energy.[/b]

Analysis by the Union of Concerned Scientists of a 20 percent RPS shows that the standard will:

--create 355,000 new jobs, nearly twice as many jobs as generating the same amount of electricity from fossil fuels;

--save consumers a total of $49 billion dollars on their utility bills for both natural gas and electricity

--reduce carbon dioxide emissionsâ€”the main cause of global warmingâ€”by over 400 million metric tons, the equivalent of taking 71 million cars off the road or planting 104 million acres of trees.[/b]
