WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- America's Natural Gas Alliance (ANGA) President and CEO Regina Hopper issued the following statement today regarding the introduction by Sens. Cantwell (D-WA) and Collins (R-ME) of the Carbon Limits and Energy for America's Renewal (CLEAR) Act of 2009:

"ANGA strongly believes that any legislative approach must include a significant and constructive role for natural gas. Natural gas is clean, green and found in abundance right here in the United States. It can create American jobs, reduce our nation's carbon footprint and curb our dependence on foreign oil. Natural gas is an extraordinary opportunity for our nation's economy and low-carbon future, and it is time for leaders to acknowledge the fact that real solutions on climate change will require a much more substantial embrace of this clean, abundant domestic energy source. We will evaluate all proposals from this perspective."
