WASHINGTON, June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- We Can Lead, a project of Ceres and the Clean Economy Network, released the following statement regarding S.J Res. 26, Senator Murkowski's resolution to prohibit the U.S. EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions:
"While it is great the Senate has put energy legislation on the floor, it is unfortunate that political gamesmanship is still at center stage," said Jeff Anderson of We Can Lead and the executive director of the Clean Economy Network. "This attempt to thwart the regulation of greenhouse gases has been an unwarranted distraction from the important work to advance comprehensive energy and climate legislation that puts a price on carbon, unleashes innovation, creates millions of American jobs and lessens our over-reliance on oil.
"The outflow pipe at the bottom of the Gulf reminds us every second about the need for the Senate to put aside the partisan differences to create a comprehensive energy policy that accelerates our transition to a clean energy economy and diversifies our energy supply.
"Now is the time to put America back in control of our energy future. It's time to finish what we started."
