Why are common-street crooks savvy enough to understand the immediate value of renewable energy but so many of our Members of Congress are unbelievably unaware?

The bill as it currently stands is stronger than the American Clean Energy and Security Act in several crucial ways, but it has a treacherous gauntlet to run before reaching the President's desk.

Today, Senator Boxer and I introduced our "Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act" that aims to put Americans back in charge of our energy future and our security.
