Script of "Grounded" (TV)

ANNOUNCER: By telling companies they can’t pollute for free, the Climate Security Act will spur investment in cleaner technology.

It will create manufacturing jobs and help end our oil addiction by expanding renewable energy.

So -- no surprise -- some in big oil and coal will do anything to drive this bill into the ground.

ANNOUNCER #2 [v/o]: Don’t let special interests win and America lose. Pass the Climate Security Act now.
