Background
More and more Georgians are
concerned about what global warming will mean for the health and well-being of
future generations. We’re working in Georgia and at the federal level to
reduce global warming pollution by at least 15 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by
2050—the science-based reductions needed to protect future
generations.
The
good news is that if we act now and act decisively we can stop global
warming and protect our children and future generations.
On March 31, Representatives Henry Waxman and Ed Markey, the leaders of
the House Energy and Commerce Committee, released the American Clean
Energy and Security Act
–a
strong, draft bill that answers President Obama's call for legislation
that will unleash clean energy to rebuild our economy and solve global
warming. The Committee is slated to consider the bill later this month
before it moves to the full house.
