| Call Your Senators: "No" on NAT GAS |
Jack,
Today, the Senate will vote on whether to throw more money at "green energy" subsidies. Please stand with us: oppose the federal government picking and financing industry winners.
The Burr-Menendez-Reid Amendment is the infamous and long-stalled NAT GAS Act. Itsubsidizes natural gas vehicles – from the production of vehicles and the purchase of these vehicles to building new fueling stations. It also levies a new tax on natural gas.
>> Call your Senators now: tell them to oppose the NAT GAS Act.
The NAT GAS Act is fast losing support in the House and now we must stop this green energy boondoggle in the Senate. Liberals are pushing the bill: President Obama touted it yesterday during his speech in North Carolina.
Proponents of the NAT GAS Act claim that it is necessary to jumpstart a nascent industry, but this is untrue. Private investments have lead to the advances in natural gas extraction techniques and the technology to use it to power everything from our homes to our vehicles. In fact, Chrysler, GM and Ford have all announced plans to release bi-fuel (gasoline and compressed natural gas) versions of their popular pickup trucks. Clearly, new subsidies aren't necessary for industry progress.
Washington's subsidies for technical progress is a long history of failure. Remember the Carter administration’s Synfuels? Remember how ethanol subsidies were going to free us from foreign oil?
>> Take Action Now: Tell your Senators to oppose energy subsidies.
After you make the call, use our call report form to tell us how it went. We’re especially interested in any Senators that oppose this amendment.
Sincerely,
