Carla Klein represents The Energy Savings Store in D.C. for Clean Energy Jobs Legislation

The Energy Savings Store joined hundreds of business leaders from across the nation in Washington D.C. to take the message to our leaders that the time is now to act on clean energy legislation.  “We traveled to the nation’s capitol to urge our leaders to pass comprehensive energy and climate legislation that will create millions of new jobs, make our country more energy independent and protect the environment for future generations,” said Carla Klein, Marketing and Policy Coordinator for The Energy Savings Store.

 “It was very exciting to be part of such a diverse group of business leaders that understand our economic and national security depends on the US being a leader in the new energy economy”, explained Klein.  “We need new industries made in America that work for America.  It will take a range of businesses to address our nation’s energy needs and tackle climate change, what we saw in DC was the great American ingenuity ready to meet the challenge.”

More than 150 businesses from more than 30 states joined to support comprehensive energy & climate legislation. Participants in the We Can Lead effort met with top Obama Administration officials and dozens of Senators to make their case for action this year.
