Repower America

Hello to all my readers. I received this letter today and wanted to share it with you. Please read the message below and post your comments or ideas on repowering America.

Dear Marlene,

Today, I will be testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about repowering America and the need for us to resume global leadership on the climate crisis. As you know, it’s a critical time in our country and we all have a role to play.
I’ve recorded a short video message to share my perspective on what’s at stake right now. Take a moment and please watch it.

Al Gore's message on the recovery.

In Congress, our leaders are debating an economic recovery package. It includes unprecedented support for putting Americans back to work building a clean energy economy.

But entrenched interests in Washington will be working hard to weaken the legislation — opposing funding for clean energy programs that support things like wind, solar, energy efficiency and a new national electric grid.

As members of Congress work out the details of a bill that can pass both the House and the Senate, it’s important that you let each of your elected representatives know that you want the recovery to be about repowering America.

You and I know that continuing with the status quo will not revitalize the U.S. economy. Please make sure your elected officials know, too.

Watch the video and send a quick note to Congress:

Today, we can start to get America back on track.

Thanks for everything,

Al Gore
