Energy Bill Passes the House!
- Please Call Your Senator Today -
This is the moment of truth. The time
for action is right now.
Thanks to solar energy supporters like you, the U.S. House
of Representatives
passed the Energy Independence Act of 2007 yesterday by a
vote of 235 to 181.
This is one of the most important pieces of energy
legislation ever - extending
solar tax incentives, increasing fuel efficiency standards,
and creating a
15% federal renewable energy portfolio standard by 2020. Now
it heads to the
Senate for a vote expected later today or tomorrow.
Time is short.
Your help is urgently needed to get this bill passed in
the Senate.
1) Contact your U.S. Senators
today and
urge them to pass the Energy Bill
to help promote energy independence. Also, ask them to rally
their colleagues
to support this vital piece of legislation -- especially
these key colleagues below.
Simply click the Senator's name to find the phone number.

2) Forward this email to friends and family, especially to
those who live in the
states listed above, to encourage them to also contact their
Senator today.
3) If you're a blogger, please also spread the word online.
Together, we can extend powerful solar incentives, improve
fuel efficiency,
and ensure 15% of U.S. electricity comes from renewable
sources of energy
like solar and wind by 2020.
Remember, the Senate vote is expected to take place today or
tomorrow
so please take action right now. Your phone call, your
support could make all
the difference.
We thank you for your continued support.
With sincere thanks,
Brad
