Hill, D-Ind., has been targeted by organizations both in favor and opposing the legislation, which if passed by Congress would for the first time limit gas emissions believed to cause global warming at the industrial level.A recent TV ad from America's Building Trades Unions points out that the majority of our wind and solar equipment is built overseas. We're losing jobs at home while other countries get further ahead.
Hill spokeswoman Katie Moreau said Hill is concerned with how the bill could impact Indiana’s economy, specifically employment.
"He’s been very open about it," Moreau said. "He understands that this is a problem and he wants to do something about it. But it’s asking a lot of people in a time of such economic trouble."
However, we can build an American clean energy economy, but construction doesn't start until Congress acts. By passing the American Clean Energy & Security Act we can make America a global leader in energy technology and create millions of new jobs.
