Subject: We Need To Begin Incentivizing People To Use Alternative Energy Methods

Good morning,

I hope that this email finds you well. Here in the United States, we rely heavily on energy
methods that produce greenhouse gases. The United States has been thriving for many
decades now. We have one of the best economies in the world, we have an abundance of
technology and new technology is being developed every day, and so much more. We are
constantly making strides to improve the lives of our citizens. However, as a Congress I believe
that we are falling behind in one key area. Though we are thriving technologically, our planet is
not. These advancements in technology and convenience in our daily lives are releasing
harmful greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are gases that when they
are released into the atmosphere, they trap heat inside of them. These are dangerous for our
environment because these gases are warming our planet slowly but surely. When are our
planet warms, there will be catastrophic events. For example, habits will be lost, storms will get
worse, and cities may go underwater. We need to begin writing legislation that incentivizes
people to user cleaner alternative energy methods that produce less of these harmful gases.
We need to lead the change in shifting our energy methods to alternative energy methods that
produce less gas.

There are already many different sources of energy that exist that we in the United States could
take more advantage of. These different methods include wind power, solar power, hydro
power, nuclear power, etc. Once we begin using these different energy methods, we will save
our planet for not just our generation, but generations to come as well.

I believe that as members of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, we have more
than enough power to combat this problem. The simplest solution we could implement is
proposing legislation that promotes companies and individuals to use cleaner energy methods.
These cleaner energy methods include methods such as hydropower, wind power, solar power,
nuclear power, etc. This legislation could be anything from limiting the methods that companies
and individuals use to produce energy or providing money for companies/individuals who
display that they are using cleaner energy methods. This legislation is important because these
greenhouse gases are killing our planet slowly. Our planet is warming at a surprisingly faster
rate than any other point in human history. If this continues to happen, ice caps will melt away,
habitats will be lost, sea levels will rise, and catastrophic storms will become frequent. Once
people begin to use cleaner energy methods, our planet will begin to heal. Animals and
humans alike will not lose their homes due to flooding, the sea level will remain constant, and
we will not see horrific storms constantly.

I know that Climate Change is a pretty big political debate nowadays, but as members of this
committee I feel as though it is our job to begin advocating for these alternative energy
methods. I would love to set up a meeting with you. I’m free all this week so anytime that is
convenient for you works for me. You can reach me via email at abcdef@congress.com or by
phone Monday through Friday 8:30-4:30 at (843)-123-45678. Once again, this is a very
important matter that will not only affect our generations but future generations to come. Our
committee is more than capable of beginning the steps to heal our planet, and I hope you feel
the same way.

This is a very important matter and I hope that you take into account what I’ve said and we can
begin working on this initiative soon.

Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon,
