"When Americans invest in a clean energy future for our country, we all benefit," said Lofgren. "Individual citizens helped turn the tide in World War II with Victory Bonds, and we can do that again in the battle against climate change by allowing any American to invest in innovative technologies that yield a profitable return for the investor and to society."
