LCV Praises House Passage of Renewable Energy Tax Credits

WASHINGTON, DC - League of Conservation Voters President Gene Karpinski issued the following statement regarding the House’s passage of the energy bill:

“While we applaud Speaker Pelosi and the U.S. House for passing this much-needed bill, this vote illustrates the fact that the real problem is in the Senate. Twice last year, a minority of Senators led by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has stood in the way of this important legislation. Perhaps this third time will be the charm for the American people, and the Senators who have blocked this bill will finally act in America’s interests.”
