Competitiveness

The era of clean energy is upon us. Across the world, nations are inventing, manufacturing, installing, and improving on renewable and efficient energy technologies. America is falling behind. To reassert our global leadership and remain competitive in the new energy economy, we must act to put a price on carbon, invest in new technologies, shore up our manufacturing infrastructure, and rebuild our power grid. We have the innovative spirit and the skilled workforce that can put us back on top, but we must act now.
