Over 170 businesses from around the country sent a letter to Democratic Senate Majority Leader Reid and his Senate colleagues today calling on the Senate to continue working to enact comprehensive climate and energy legislation this year. The letter was brought together by the We Can Lead coalition, a project of the Clean Economy Network (CEN) and Ceres.

Signatories to the letter include Exelon, Nike, Virgin America, PG&E and eBay, along with representatives from the new energy economy. The letter comes just days after a temporary delay of the introduction of the legislative language by Senators Kerry, Graham, and Lieberman. Business leaders are urging all Senators to get comprehensive energy and climate legislation “back on track” in order to spur a new energy economy, boost energy independence and decrease carbon emissions.

The letter was signed by 175 businesses from some of the nation’s largest electric power, manufacturing, clean tech, technology and consumer facing companies.
