I have exciting news! Roll Call, a premier Capitol Hill newspaper, recently published a piece written by our Congressman Jerry McNerney. The subject? Need you ask? His expertise - renewable energy!

Recognizing our Congressman's 20+ years of experience in renewable energy, they asked for his thoughts on the direction of our country's energy policy. Here's an excerpt from the article:
"As when I started my career in renewable energy, America is again at a critical point in its history. We face threats to our national security, a struggling economy, and the danger of climate change. Despite these challenges, the opportunities ahead are great." McNerney: We Need New Energy Technologies, Special to Roll Call, 4/20/09.
Congressman McNerney goes on to point out that we must increase our development of renewable energy from wind, solar, and other sustainable sources, and improve the efficiency of our electrical grid by investing in new technologies. This process, Congressman McNerney writes, will make "moving America toward energy independence...synonymous with creating millions of "green collar" jobs that our country needs."
Our Congressman is fighting every day to move our country towards a more sustainable energy policy, but he can't do it without you. The people who come together to support this movement and recruit their friends to become more energy efficient will be the groundswell that accomplishes great change.
Please tell your friends and family and ask them to sign up for email updates from Congressman McNerney to learn how they can help!
Thank you for all you do,
Robbyn
