WE STRONGLY OPPOSE YOUR RES BILL

Honorable Senators Sponsoring and Supporting the RES Bill,

We kindly ask you to OPPOSE the RES Bill, as it will continue to deprive our nation of jobs, money and development of reliable energy sources. The continued waste of taxpayer money on subsidies for backup power programs such as wind energy are wasteful and debilitating for reliable energy generation that continue to fuel our economy such as coal and nuclear.

It has been widely reported that in Europe jobs are actually lost through highly subsidized green energy programs, as well as tax base due to property value depreciation. In addition the Bentek study clearly shows that CO2 has risen in Colorado and Texas through their development of intermittent energy sources tied to their grids, such as wind energy.

Please cease support of your bill, and plan to invest this taxpayer money into actual infrastructure that will benefit our nation. The continued support of unions, foreign manufacturing, foreign energy companies and speculative investors, all hiding behind “green energy” is highly disturbing. Each of you are at a cross-road, one that will sink or shape America. We hope your patriotic sense prevails and you stop this bleeding; OPPOSE RES -- invest in America.

Sincerely,
Robert E. Aliasso, Jr. Co-Chair
The Coalition for the Preservation of the Golden Crescent and 1000 Islands Region
