Energy Activists and Chapter staff in MN NH AR KS IN OR MO WV:

BEFORE 2pm TODAY: Ask your Senator to oppose amendments that undermine Senator Bingaman's Renewable Electricity Standard and derail America's path to renewable energy.

The Senate begins debate on energy legislation today. We need you to call your Senator BEFORE 2pm Eastern. Please use the talking points below to engage grassroots and grasstops. The vote on the amendment will happen today.

Talking points:

* Hi, my name is XXXX and I'm calling from [city, state]. * I'm calling to ask Senator XXXX to oppose Senator Domenici's amendment to the national renewable electricity standard. * The amendment would weaken the deployment of truly clean and renewable electricity sources like wind, solar, biomass and geothermal. * The renewable standard is intended to promote our development of clean, new energy sources, not give more subsidies to the coal and nuclear industries. * The renewable standard provides a way to save consumers like me money on their utility bills by increasing the competition from renewable energy sources and reducing the demand for natural gas * Thank you.

America's use of truly clean and renewable energy could get a historic boost from the Senate today [June 12th], but the bill is threatened by an amendment allowing nuclear, coal and other so-called "clean" energy sources. Senator Bingaman's (D-NM) renewable electricity standard would require utilities to acquire 15 percent of their energy from the wind, sun, energy crops and the heat of the earth's core by 2020. Please call your today senator to oppose amendments that undermine Senator Bingaman's standard and derail American's path to renewable energy. Please call now as the vote on the amendment will happen today!
