Give Clean Energy a Break!

You probably know that the Oil Industry receives billions in tax breaks every year, because they do such a great job of protecting our environment and providing us with cheap fuel.

Now the Union of Concerned Scientists, one of the most responsible activist organizations in the country, is seeking our support in pressuring Congress to give the same deal to renewable energy sources.

Here's what they say:  "Congress stands poised to take an important step toward leveling the playing field on which renewable energy and fossil fuels compete for financing. But policy makers in Washington need to hear from you today to break the gridlock on clean energy.Urge Congress to support a level playing field for clean energy today.Renewable energy has been denied access to certain tax benefits and low-cost financing made available to the fossil fuel industry for decades. Bipartisan legislation now before the U.S. House and Senate will finally give renewable energy projects access—unlocking billions of dollars of low-cost financing for clean energy. Let's make sure Congress does not fail to seize this opportunity to ensure renewables compete on more even ground with fossil fuels.Take action today!
