Boswell has signed on to the Safe Climate Act (HR1590). This bill is a great first step, but the future of strong global warming policy will depend on key principles--most notably, that revenue from a cap and trade program will go to the cleanest, safest, fastest technology available to reduce emissions (not to dirty false hopes like coal and carbon storage) and that this revenue will help to swiftly transition us to a clean energy workforce. Leaders in Congress, Reps. Waxman, Markey and Inslee have authored a letter to Speaker Pelosi detailing these principles. Greenpeace is asking that Rep. Boswell take the next step and join these climate heroes by signing on to this letter committing to a clear road map to climate solutions for the economy and our environment. Please join us!
