Faison, ClearPath Action Hail Passage of "Landmark" Energy Policy Modernization Act in U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON, April 20, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Conservative philanthropist Jay Faison, CEO and founder of ClearPath Action, a 501(c)4 working to accelerate conservative clean energy solutions, today issued the following statement in support of S. 2012, the bipartisan "Energy Policy Modernization Act" which was passed by the U.S. Senate today:

"The Senate's passage of this year's comprehensive energy bill is a major step in accelerating a common-sense, market-driven clean energy agenda that leaders across the political spectrum can embrace and conservatives in particular can enthusiastically support. It builds on our abundance of clean natural gas, puts America back on track to leading nuclear energy innovation, expands proven and low-cost hydropower and advances research on the next generation of clean energy technologies -- all while slashing bureaucratic red tape and encouraging efficiencies."

"We urge the House and Senate to quickly close their differences on this landmark legislation so that America can continue to lead the world in developing affordable, reliable and clean energy technologies."
