Alliance for Climate Protection Chairman Al Gore on the Clean Energy Jobs & American Power Act

Nashville, TN – Al Gore, Chairman of Alliance for Climate Protection and former Vice President and Nobel laureate issued the following statement on today’s Senate introduction of the Clean Energy Jobs & American Power Act:

"I applaud the leadership of Senators Barbara Boxer and John Kerry and their committees' efforts to advance historic comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation in the U.S. Congress. The broad majority of Americans supports clean energy legislation and understand the urgency with which we and our leaders must act. Today's Senate action brings our nation one step closer to enacting the policies that will create new jobs and industries by repowering America with clean energy, bring meaningful cuts in global warming pollution, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. With the eyes of the world upon us as we near treaty negotiations in Copenhagen in December, America has the opportunity to lead the international community and enact a truly global response to the climate crisis."
