Rep. Deutch at Florida Green Energy & Climate Convention: America Must Lead on Renewables
Last Tuesday, Congressman Ted Deutch addressed business leaders, local officials, and climate advocates at a statewide convention on green energy in Florida. There, he argued the United States must step up federal investments in renewables or risk being outpaced by other nations in the global race for green energy jobs. Rep. Deutch recently voted against the Republican budget, which protects subsidies for the oil industry but cuts federal loans for green energy startups and grants for research on innovative renewable technologies.
"The very future of our economy and America's energy security are hanging in the balance as petty political battles are played out in Congress," he said. "There are millions of American jobs waiting to be created by encouraging growth in ocean current technology, solar power, biofuel development, high capacity batteries, and green engineering."
