FYI
I suggest we all contact "our" representative. By comprehensive he means w
eak.
Way too wimpy; the democrats cave in again. Off shore oil drilling? 15 pe
rcent of renewables by 2020?
This is a joke and an insult.
Karen

Dear Friend,
During the August work period, I went on a Western Wisconsin Energy Tour, v
isiting businesses right in our backyard that are on the cutting-edge of re
newable technologies.
What I heard repeatedly from the families and businesses I visited was that
we share the same goal: an immediate, bipartisan, and comprehensive energy
strategy. That is why I am pleased to tell you that early next week the H
ouse will act on the Comprehensive American Energy Security & Consumer Prot
ection Act.
This legislation has it all: tremendous investments in renewable energy, in
creased domestic supply, and greater conservation.
This bill will:
* Invest in wind, solar, and natural gas through tax incentives and infr
astructure development;
* Open up additional offshore areas for drilling;
* Release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve;
* Require that 15 percent of America’s energy comes from renewable sou
rces by 2020;
* End taxpayer subsidies to the five largest oil companies; and
* Require oil companies to develop leases they already own or lose the o
pportunity.
I have long stressed the importance of using a combination of tactics to pr
ovide short-term relief at the pump and long-term energy independence that
will prevent another energy crisis down the road. I look forward to suppor
ting this historic legislation when it comes to the floor next week because
I believe it is time to come together on behalf of the American people.
Sincerely,
