Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources hearing on investments in clean energy and natural resources projects and programs to create green jobs and to stimulate the economy: Testimony of Bracken Hendricks, Senior Fellow, Center for American Progress Action Fund, December 10, 2008: “In this testimony, the Center for American Progress Action Fund offers some thoughts on: 1) the current economic downturn and the urgent need for an aggressive stimulus package that extends well into the coming year; 2) why clean energy should be a major centerpiece of any such recovery plan, possibly constituting from one quarter to one third of a larger stimulus package; and 3) priority measures that will not only create jobs and growth in the short term, but help rebuild the foundation of the U.S. economy over the long term on the platform of renewable and efficient low-carbon energy.”
