Haley Stevens on Energy & Oil

US can lead the way in promoting a clean energy future

Supported Cash for Clunkers, for environmental efficiency

Haley Stevens: Like it or not, climate change is real and we need to start acting accordingly. During the Auto Rescue we not only helped save GM and Chrysler, we did it while improving fuel efficiency standards and spurring American auto companies to build the cars of the future. We implemented Cash for Clunkers, an incentive-based program that allowed consumers to trade in old, environmentally inefficient vehicles for 21st century models. We can have industry and a clean environment, but only with leaders in Congress who are willing to get the job done.
