Shortly after the release of the American Power Act yesterday (May 12, 2010) from Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I – Conn.), a coalition of 18 US corporations called BICEP released a statement supporting passage of the bill and asking Congress to HURRY UP!!
The coalition released a statement of support, saying in part, “BICEP companies applaud Senators Kerry and Lieberman — along with Senator Graham who contributed so much to shaping this bill — for moving the Senate so far toward vital climate and energy legislation. It’s a significant step forward and contains several key elements in BICEP’s core principles, including major limits on greenhouse gas emissions and crucial initiatives to increase renewable energy and energy efficiency. We are heartened by this progress and understand how much hard work it’s taken to get here. At the same time we wish to remind all Senators of the unmistakable urgency of this moment. America can no longer wait to solve these problems, which seriously threaten our economy, our security and our environment.” For the full statement, click here.
