Meet the mayor of Braddock, PA, John Fetterman.

John Fetterman looks more like he belongs on the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line than who he really is—a Harvard-educated mayor of a struggling western Pennsylvania steel town.
In Braddock, PA, the hats are hard, just like the economic times. Once called the jewel of the Monongahela, this factory town has seen better days.

That's why Mayor Fetterman is a champion for another kind of cap—a carbon cap. Because John Fetterman knows that capping carbon will put the citizens of his endangered town back to work.

We want all of America to meet John Fetterman and hear his story.

The battle of a lifetime is underway—to cap carbon, to stop global warming, and to put Americans back to work rebuilding our energy economy.

Please don't let the global warming denial machine thwart our efforts. They're sinking hundreds of millions of dollars on propaganda, distortions, and junk science to lobby against us.

The biggest—and to me most offensive—lie the deniers are telling is that capping carbon will cost us jobs. Tell that to Mayor Fetterman and the men and women of Braddock.

Every wind turbine has 8,000 parts and requires 250 tons of steel. With tens of thousands of wind turbines waiting to be built, imagine how many people we'll put back to work when we cap carbon and unleash our clean energy future.
