Environmental groups are reacting positively to some aspects of the economic stimulus package unveiled by House Democrats yesterday, particularly those pertaining to clean energy and energy efficiency. The bill contains funding for dozens of pro-environment policies designed to create new green jobs and stimulate economic growth.
A summary of the bill’s funding for green jobs projects can be viewed here:
Green Jobs Central House American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill
Environmentalists have been waiting to see whether or not the incoming Obama administration and its Democratic allies in Congress will be able to follow through on campaign promises to create new green jobs.
The Natural Resources Defense Council praised the bill’s funding for clean energy and energy efficiency projects, but called for more support for public transportation, as well as for water and waste infrastructure.
Statement by Karen Wayland, legislative director for the Natural Resources Defense Council:
“Clean energy investments in the bill such as loan guarantees for renewable energy, weatherization of low-income family homes, and a boost to our country's research and development budget will help repower America, create new jobs and reduce our dependence on oil. These are important steps in moving America toward clean energy that will cut global warming pollution and jump-start our economic recovery.”
“Fixing our deteriorating transportation infrastructure and investing in projects that are ready to go will create a transit system for the 21st century. Unfortunately, the proposal includes cuts from Chairman Oberstar's blueprint for transportation infrastructure funding. At a time of erratic energy prices, Congress should use this opportunity to move America away from highways and toward railways and mass transit. The transportation component of the stimulus package underfunds mass transit in deference to highways and bridges, which receive $30 billion compared to $10 billion for public transit and rail.”
“Our nation’s water and waste infrastructure, which is in serious and dangerous disrepair, must be fixed. Investing in the rehabilitation of the existing water system and next generation technologies will create jobs and protect this important resource. Unfortunately, water infrastructure is severely under-funded in Congress's plan for our nation’s economic recovery.”
Friends of the Earth applauded the bill’s funding for clean energy as well. But the group found sections of the bill pertaining to public transportation to be lacking.
Statement by Friends of the Earth President Brent Blackwelder:
“This proposal demonstrates a serious commitment to clean energy with a number of smart and much-needed investments that can create green jobs and be instrumental in our transition to a clean energy economy.”
“Unfortunately, the transportation spending doesn’t take the same forward-thinking approach. The stimulus as it currently stands doesn’t do enough to create green jobs through clean transportation investments, and it doesn’t prevent spending from going to unnecessary new roads that increase pollution and oil consumption. It is particularly disappointing to see that, unlike highway funds, public transportation and passenger rail funds have been cut below the levels suggested by the House Transportation Committee, limiting job creation in these areas. Public transportation investments create 19 percent more jobs per dollar spent than investments in new highways.”
Likewise, Environment America embraced the bill’s support for clean energy and energy efficiency, but called for more funding for transportation and clean water.
Statement by Environment America Washington DC Office Director Ann Aurilio:
“This economic recovery proposal will not only help keep the lights on across America but will make them greener. Investments in clean energy and energy efficiency will put Americans to work in good jobs building a new clean energy economy.”
“Clean energy can be the workhorse of America’s economic recovery. But to fully realize that potential, Congress should do much more for public transportation.”
Statement by Environment America Senior Environmental Attorney John Rumpler:
“The Clean Water funding in this proposal falls short of the immediate potential to put Americans to work on ready to go projects that are urgently needed to safeguard America’s clean water supplies from pollution and waste. ”
“This proposal is a good start and we are calling on Congress to keep it clean. By making clean energy and green infrastructure investments a cornerstone of any economic recovery package, we can make a down payment on solving global warming and ensure a clean, safer, stronger America.”
The National Parks Conservation Associated lauded the bill’s $2.25 billion in funding for America’s long neglected National Parks Service.
Statement by NPCA President Tom Kiernan:
“The House has proposed a bold, significant step toward revitalizing our national parks for our children and grandchildren by creating jobs today. This investment in our national parks is an investment in our quality of life, our heritage, and our future.
“This critically-needed proposal, if passed by Congress and signed into law by President-elect Obama, would bring immediate economic benefits—including approximately 50,000 jobs in rural and urban communities nationwide—and lay a strong foundation for restoring our imperiled national park heritage by 2016, the centennial of the National Park Service.”

National Parks Conservation Association: New Deal Style Investment in National Parks Could Create 57,000 Jobs
A New Deal style policy investing $2.5 billion in the National Parks Service could create more than 57,000 new jobs nationwide, according to a recent report published by the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA). I talked to Tom Hill, NPCA's Legislative Representative, to learn more about the report.
The National Parks system has suffered from chronic underfunding for many years, according to Hill. In fact, funding falls about $750 million short of what is needed each year. This shortfall has led to a widespread deterioration in park infrastructure. Unmaintained roads, trails, and bridges pose real safety threats to park visitors, and irreplaceable historic buildings are crumbling due to lack of repair. The total backlog for road repair and maintenance alone totals a staggering $8.5 billion.
"National Parks should be a priority," says Hill, noting that the parks are part of our national heritage.
But Hill is also eager for people to know about the economic benefits of the park system. A recent NPCA study that found that "...every dollar invested in national parks generates at least $4 in economic value to the public." Hill describes funding for the National Parks System as an investment that can produce very real economic returns. He explains that spending money to improve park infrastructure can create new jobs both directly and indirectly. Improvements in infrastructure can lead to increased use of the parks by the public, which means more tourist dollars and new economic opportunities for states and local communities.
Lawmakers in Washington are eager to include "shovel ready" projects in the economic stimulus package. Hill is confident that the plan advocated by the NPCA fall into that category. In fact the National Park Service has $1 billion in ready-to-go projects awaiting funding.
"They fall into the category of things that can put people to work quickly," he notes.
While most of the policy makers approached by the NPCA have been supportive of the group's proposals, Hill believes that the details of the economic stimulus package probably won't become clear until after President-Elect Barack Obama is sworn into office next week.
"It continues to be important for people to let their own members of Congress know that taking care of National Parks should be a priority," says Hill. "In this case it can also stimulate economic growth."
You can help the NPCA send a strong message to Congress by writing a letter to editor of your local newspaper. Tell them you want your representatives in Congress to create new jobs by investing in the future of America's national parks!

Obama: Economic Stimulus Plan Will Create 500,000 New Green Jobs
Last week, President-Elect Barack Obama’s said that his economic stimulus plan will create half a million new green jobs for America.
“We’ll create nearly half a million jobs by investing in clean energy – by committing to double the production of alternative energy in the next three years, and by modernizing more than 75% of federal buildings and improving the energy efficiency of two million American homes,” the president elect said. These made-in-America jobs building solar panels and wind turbines, developing fuel-efficient cars and new energy technologies pay well, and they can’t be outsourced.”
Watch the complete address:
The statement came as Obama discussed his plans to create 3 to 4 million new jobs nationwide. The President-Elect told the nation that immediate and dramatic action is needed to reverse the current economic downturn.
As a candidate for president, Barack Obama made it that clean energy and green jobs would figure heavily into his plans to invigorate the economy. As the president-elect, Obama has remained true to that commitment. But he can't do it alone.
Show your support for policies that will promote clean energy, create new green jobs, and help the environment!
