***********************
In a bipartisan vote, the U.S. House of Representatives passed landmark legislation that would constitute America’s biggest step to date in responding to the energy and climate crises. World Wildlife Fund officials commended the House of Representatives for taking a first step towards a clean energy economy, creating jobs and exports, and protecting our nation’s quality of life and said the bill is a critical starting point, at a crucial time given the increasing urgency of the climate change problem. To read more about what CEO Carter Roberts and climate scientist Richard Moss have to say about the bill, see the press release.
