The National Modernization Act: How to achieve clean energy, climate stability, infrastructure improvements, abundant jobs and how to pay for it

As political viewpoints have become ever more polarized, the problems we face as a nation have only gotten worse. To solve them, we must come back together for a common cause: the future of our economy, our country, and our planet.

The National Modernization Act provides the conceptual framework for a coordinated solution. The issues are large and intertwined and must be addressed in a holistic way. Though not a legal document, this proposal lays out a plan for important legislative action, with key facts and background knowledge in each section. By updating our infrastructure, including roads and bridges, we can make a pollution-free transportation system with universal electric power through a national grid giving citizens access to safe, clean, renewable energy. Coordinated with a specific employment training and placement program will improve the lives of countless families and bolster the struggling economy.

With these foundations for a modernized America, we will be back on the path of moderating climate change and shoring up our future. But it will take personal involvement to make it happen. For all citizens and elected officials, now is the best time for action.
