Energy Bill Passes the House!
- Please Call Your Senator Today -


This is the moment of truth. The time for action is
right now.

Thanks to solar energy supporters like you, the U.S.
House of
Representatives
passed the Energy Independence Act of 2007 yesterday
by a vote of 235
to 181.

This is one of the most important pieces of energy
legislation ever -
extending
solar tax incentives, increasing fuel efficiency
standards, and creating a
15% federal renewable energy portfolio standard by
2020. Now it heads
to the
Senate for a vote expected later today or tomorrow.

Time is short. Your help is urgently needed to get
this bill passed in
the Senate.

1) Contact your U.S. Senators today and urge them to
pass the Energy Bill
to help promote energy independence. Also, ask them to
rally their
colleagues
