All around us, we’re seeing the effects of climate change on our environment and our quality of life. Record-setting snow storms, raging wildfires and extreme drought are affecting our communities across the country and the world. Sea levels are rising even faster than scientists predicted and it’s no longer a question of if Antarctica will melt, but rather how fast.

The most recent climate science reports, released in the fall of 2018, tell us that global action is needed to slow with only 12 years to keep global warming at a maximum of 1.5C, to avoid even more extreme drought, floods, heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people. Achieving that goal will require the United States to phase-out its use of carbon-based fuels such as oil, coal and gas.  

We need to eliminate dirty fossil fuels from our energy equation and repower our country with 100% clean and renewable sources.

Repowering our communities would mean harnessing the unlimited power of the sun and the wind instead of extracting finite resources. It means solar panels and wind turbines instead of smoke stacks and pipelines. It means riding on buses and trains that run on electricity instead of coal or oil and driving electric cars in pollution-free traffic. It means safer and healthier communities and protecting our earth’s resources.
