On the EPW Committee Vote

On Thursday, the U.S. Senate Committee approved the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act. Repower Pennsylvania Director Michael Fedor offered this statement:

Senator Specter’s vote this morning to move the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act out of committee is an important step forward on securing essential clean energy and climate protection legislation. I believe Senator Specter and Senator Casey will be strong partners with senators John Kerry, Lindsay Graham and Joe Lieberman in delivering a bipartisan energy and climate bill. While there is still much work to be done, Pennsylvania can be proud that one of its longest serving senators voted to strengthen our national security, protect our climate, and create 1.7 million new, sustainable jobs, including 70,000 right here in the Keystone State.
