Here’s what I got back from my congress critter after I sent a note asking if she got as much for her vote as her fellow congresswoman from Ohio ( Marcy Kaptur, Dem, Toledo, 3.5 billion in the 300 page addon that nobody read ).
I asked where the 67,000 jobs number came from, but no reply so far.
Dear Michael,
Thank you for contacting me regarding “the American Clean Energy and Security Act.” I appreciate hearing from you, and I welcome this opportunity to address your concerns.
“The American Clean Energy Act” passed the House of Representatives on June 26, 2009. I voted in favor of the bill because it will create 67,000 urgently needed jobs in Ohio and boost private investments in the state by $5.6 billion. The clean energy economy is the future of our country and of central Ohio. Central Ohio is positioned to make the solar panels, wind turbines and bio mass products that will power our nation in the very near future. Components of this bill will make dramatic investments in a regional energy effort for the Midwest that is long overdue and create a fund to lift Ohio manufacturers in difficult times.
Another important aspect of this bill will address the threat of global warming by limiting carbon emissions. A limit on carbon emissions is critical to sustaining the future protection of public health and the environment. Without controlling our carbon emissions, our planet will face disastrous consequences. I am committed to developing a successful energy program that rewards innovation, efficiency and early action.
Thank you again for contacting me. I hope you will continue to keep in touch and let me know whenever I may be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Mary Jo Kilroy
Member of Congress
Perhaps you should ask her about how many jobs those 67,000 will elimanate? According to Spain for every one of thier green jobs created 3 others dissappeared so 3 x 67,000 = 210,000!
