Dear Senator,
In the next month, the U.S. Senate will take on the important task of deciding between a cleaner, brighter future for [state] or the dirty energy policies of the past. As a constituent in [state], I am writing to urge your support for comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation this year that will create jobs and reduce the harmful pollution that threatens our planet.
Passage of clean energy and climate legislation is one of the most important things we can do to revitalize our economy and help solve the climate crisis. Putting a price on carbon will drive investment in clean energy technologies, creating millions of good-paying jobs. A recent report from the Center for American Progress finds that investing $150 billion a year in our clean energy economy can generate 1.7 million jobs across the U.S., including thousands in [state]. These are homegrown, American jobs for American workers, jobs that use the skills of today's labor force and that cannot be outsourced. As our national unemployment rate sits at more than 9 percent, we need these jobs now more than ever.
In addition, comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation will reduce our dependence on foreign oil that threatens our national security. Top-ranking admirals and generals have pointed to climate change as a grave threat to our national security, saying the first priority for the new administration should be fully integrating our energy security and climate change goals into national security and military planning.
By transitioning to a clean energy economy, America can stop sending billions of dollars to unstable, hostile regimes for their oil and start pumping that money back into our own economy. Passing climate legislation will allow us to invest in domestic energy sources, like wind, solar and geothermal -- reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring we leave behind a healthy, prosperous planet for future generations. Failure to act will continue to put [state]'s economy, our nation's economy, our national security and the health of our planet in jeopardy.
With true leadership in the Senate, we can pass comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation and begin the important transition to a clean energy economy -- addressing all of our most pressing problems at once: creating millions of new jobs, hastening our economic recovery, strengthening our national security and preserving our planet for future generations.
As my Senator, it's your leadership I turn to, and as your constituent, I strongly urge you to support comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation this year.
Sincerely,
[NAME]
