Pelosi Statement on New Report from Energy Information Administration That Confirms Low Cost of Clean Energy Bill

Washington, D.C. — Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on a new report from the Energy Information Administration, which validates previous estimates of the low costs and large benefits of the American Clean Energy and Security Act that the House passed in June:
 
“Another report has confirmed that clean energy is a good investment for our economy and for our energy security.
 
“The Energy Information Agency estimates that the American Clean Energy and Security Act  approved by the House will dramatically reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign oil, increase clean renewable electricity generation in America by 28 percent, while also keeping electricity costs affordable for all Americans.”

The Energy Information Administration report was requested by Chairmen Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), the co-authors of the legislation.
