Jeff Merkley is introducing his Four Point Plan for Combating Global Climate Change. You can view the first part of his plan on renewable energy here.  The second part of the plan involves reducing climate changing emissions, which includes:

• Jeff will cosponsor and work for passage of the Boxer Sanders Bill s. 309, the strongest and most comprehensive climate change bill in the U.S. Senate. The Global Warming Polution Reduction Act calls for an 80% reduction in climate change causing pollutants by 2050. Authored by US Senators Barbara Boxer (D-California) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), this bill takes on climate change by making the United States a leader in clean and efficient energy technologies—creating millions of family wage jobs.

• In addition,  Jeff will cosponsor and work for passage of Senator Maria Cantwell's Reducing Demand through Electricity Grid Intelligence Act. This bill by Senator Cantwell (D-Washington) will accelerate and encourage the development of a nationwide intelligent energy grid system through the broader use of new technologies. It will also improve energy efficiency and save consumers money on electricity bills.   Taxpayers will save between $50 and $100 billion in the next 20 years and and work toward ending our national dependence on foreign oil. 

Please sign on to this plan today.  Show  Gordon Smith and the Republicans in Washington that we will no longer wait for action on this crucial issue.
