STATEMENT: Clean Energy for America Statement on House Republican Energy Plan

(Washington, D.C.) – In response to the newly introduced House Republican energy plan, CE4A Executive Director Andrew Reagan released the following statement:

 “America’s families and workers can’t afford this energy plan from House Republicans. It excavates tired policies that won’t create new jobs and won’t truly protect our nation’s energy security.

 “This plan is a missed opportunity to help strengthen our country’s energy sector with new ideas and innovations. Shutting down or holding back our domestic clean energy workforce, which this plan threatens to do, is an economic and energy security mistake. America’s enemies want to wield fossil fuels against us and our allies. We need to disarm them by reducing our dependence on volatile oil and gas and increasing our supply of money-saving, pollution-cutting, home-grown clean energy.”
