Instead of subsidizing the polluting oil, gas and coal industries to the tune of billions of dollars every year, we should be making investments in clean energy, so green innovations can make an even bigger difference in stopping global warming, cleaning up our air and building the kind of economy that future generations can rely on.

Yet Congress has to act now to deliver on the promise of a new energy future. Big Oil and its friends on Capitol Hill have been blocking the extension of critical clean-energy incentives. If these expire, an estimated $19 billion in clean-energy projects will be canceled, and America would lose more than 116,000 clean-energy jobs.

We call on the Senate to continue to do everything in their power to extend clean-energy incentives now.
