Markey: Clear Need for Clean Energy Jobs
Passing Clean Energy Bill in Congress Will Create Millions of Jobs in America
Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), co-author of the Waxman-Markey clean energy jobs bill, today released the following statement in response to President Obama’s remarks on clean energy jobs:
“If we want to put more Americans to work in clean energy jobs, then Congress must continue its work to pass a clean energy strategy for America.
“Independent studies have shown that a clean energy bill like Waxman-Markey could create nearly 2 million clean energy jobs. With global competition for clean energy technologies heating up, now is the time for us to demand clean energy jobs that will be Made in America and Stay in America.
“The Senate is working on their own version of clean energy jobs legislation. Congress will continue to work so more Americans will have work.”
