Statement from the Alliance for Climate Protection Chairman Al Gore on Passage
of the American Clean Energy Security (ACES) Act by the House of
Representatives

NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the
Leadership of the House, and Chairmen Waxman and Markey have, through their
leadership, secured an important bipartisan victory for the American people.

The American Clean Energy Security (ACES) Act is one of the most important
pieces of legislation Congress will ever pass. This comprehensive legislation
will make meaningful reductions in global warming pollution, spur investment
in clean energy technology, create jobs and reduce our reliance on foreign
oil.

The next step is passage of this legislation by the Senate to help restore
America's leadership in the world and begin, at long last, to put in place a
truly global solution to the climate crisis.

We are at an extraordinary moment, with an historic opportunity to confront
one of the world's most serious challenges. Our actions now will be remembered
by this generation and all those to follow -- in our own nation and others
around the world.

About the Alliance for Climate Protection:
The Alliance for Climate Protection is educating the American people through
scientific facts of the importance and urgency of adopting and implementing
effective and comprehensive solutions to the climate crisis.
