Texas Climate Emergency Campaign and CLEAN report on the Amercan Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009

Harris County is the leading emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the nation, reports Charles Stillman of the Texas Climate Emergency Campaign. A very important climate bill known as the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 was recently introduced in the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Houston Congressman Gene Green is a member of that committee and his support is critical to the creation of strong global warming legislation.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee will soon start marking up the
bill, and we need to take action now to ensure that this bill is as strong
as possible. More information about the issue and a petition can be found at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/11/urge-congressman-gene-green-to-strengthen-climate-legislation.

The Texas Climate Emergency Campaign will be hosting a press release at Gene Green’s Houston office on May 11, 2009, at noon. For more information, contact Charles Stillman at charlestexasclimate@gmail.com.
