> the world by example. We support your effort to ensure meaningful and effective measures to control
> climate change, an immediate challenge facing the United States and the world
> today. Please don’t postpone the earth.

> there will be catastrophic and irreversible consequences for humanity and our
> planet.

> Energy Economy will drive state-of-the-art technologies that will spur economic
> growth, create new energy jobs, and increase our energy security all while
> reducing the harmful emissions that are putting our planet at risk. We have the
> ability and the know-how to lead the world in clean energy technology to thrive in a global market and economy. But we must

> safe planet and a strong economy.
