Dear Mayors: Bring Cheap Clean Energy to Your Community
Mayors and City Leaders
Fact: No one wants higher energy bills. And no one wants climate disasters devastating their community.
The good news: Clean energy is the cheapest form of new electricity – and a powerful way to help stop global warming. So as temperatures rise and energy bills go up, up, up, choosing clean energy for our towns and cities is a win-win way to cut both costs and climate pollution.
It’s time to send a message to our mayors and city leaders: Bring cheap clean energy to our towns and cities.
You can help by adding your name to the petition below. Climate Reality Branches and International Hubs as well as US Chapters will deliver the worldwide petition with all signatories’ names, cities, states, and countries showing the incredible global support for clean energy to mayors and city leaders worldwide this spring. In person at their offices. At public events. Everywhere and every way we can to make the message heard.
Because we know there’s a better future ahead, powered by affordable and abundant clean energy. Our mayors and city leaders can help make it a reality for all of us.

People everywhere are struggling with skyrocketing energy bills. Our world is facing a devastating climate crisis.
The good news: The solutions to both challenges are in our hands and you can play a key role in cutting costs and climate pollution by bringing cheap clean energy to the community you lead.
The time is now.
Global energy demand is expected to grow on average by more than 3.5% per year through 2030. Continuing to rely on expensive and dirty fossil fuels means electricity prices will continue to rise for much of the world, power plant pollution will continue to choke communities; and the climate crisis will continue to worsen.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Clean energy is cheap energy. The most effective way to keep electricity bills down, protect your communities’ health, and avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis is to make it easier to generate and deliver clean energy to more households and businesses.
You are uniquely positioned to make this happen because you have direct control over policy related to local land use, building codes, zoning, and transportation systems. You more intimately understand the needs and priorities of your communities than national leaders, so can tailor clean energy solutions to your specific community. And while climate policies often get stalled at the national level, you can act more quickly to deploy clean energy projects like wind and solar farms.
That is why we are calling on you to lead the way in bringing cheap clean energy to your communities.
