Dear John,
The House of Representatives has just revealed their framework for the Build Back Better Act, announcing billions of dollars that will be invested in clean energy and climate infrastructure!
With this bold commitment in hand, the U.S. has a clear path for addressing the climate crisis, cutting carbon pollution, reducing energy bills for working families and creating millions of clean energy jobs.
America is ready to Build Back Better! Show your support for this historic investment by urging your Representative to vote yes. With their help we can solidify our path to a clean energy future.
The Build Back Better framework contains significant investments for our environment that will slash pollution and drive the future of climate action. If passed, this bill will provide $550 billion towards clean energy investments and climate solutions — making it the single largest climate bill in American history! This includes investments towards:
- Clean Energy Manufacturing: From wind turbines and solar panels, to electric vehicle technology (for clean trucks, buses and cars), this bill has critical incentives that will establish the U.S. as a global leader in clean energy — creating new, good-paying union jobs across the nation.
- Renewable Energy: The Build Back Better Act includes incentives to grow domestic supply chains in solar, wind, and other critical industries necessary to accelerate the transition to clean energy.
- Electric Vehicles: This bill includes key investments in EV infrastructure, including a national network of charging stations, in addition to new EV tax credits that will make these vehicles more accessible and affordable than ever.
The framework being unveiled today comes alongside a bipartisan infrastructure bill that already passed the U.S. Senate and now awaits passage in the House. Combined, these two bills will be the largest investment we have seen in decades! If passed, these bills will upgrade and modernize our electrical grid, eliminate lead service lines (ensuring that clean water is delivered to millions of families) and shore up our coastlines so our communities are more resilient and capable of withstanding the impacts of extreme weather.
These bills have the support from a large and broad majority of Americans and deserve swift approval by Congress. This historic investment in clean energy, climate solutions, environmental injustices, and jobs is a major step that will put us firmly on the path to cut carbon pollution by 50% by 2030 — a goal scientists say is necessary to combat the climate crisis.
It’s time to act on climate. Urge your elected leaders to vote for bold action that will deliver meaningful and measurable progress in the fight against climate change.
For our clean energy future,
Wes Rogerson
