WASHINGTON, D.C. – Speaking today from Capitol
Hill, Peter A. Darbee, Chairman, CEO and President
of PG&E Corporation (NYSE: PCG) joined U.S. Senator
Dianne Feinstein (D – Calif.) and other business
leaders to voice support for her landmark bill, co-sponsored
by U.S. Senator Tom Carper (D – Del.), to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from the nation’s electric
utility sector.
“Adopting legislation to cap greenhouse gas
emissions at the federal level is the greatest way
of efficiently addressing climate change and a necessary
step in positioning the U.S. as a global leader on
environmental issues,” said Darbee.
“As the single largest source of emissions
in the U.S., the utility sector must play a key role
in meeting our national emissions reductions goals.
This bill will significantly reduce emissions from
the utility sector and it will do so by leveraging
the innovation and efficiency of the market.”
“It’s pragmatic, aggressive, and it’s
a serious response to a serious problem. We’re
proud to support it – just as we supported California’s
landmark climate law. And we are committed to working
with leaders at the federal level to advance clean
energy solutions and meet the challenge this bill is
designed to address.”
