As climate change, air pollution, and environmental injustices ravage our communities and threaten our health and livelihoods, moving away from fossil fuels has never been more urgent. That's why transitioning our country to pollution-free renewable energy sources like wind and solar is absolutely imperative—and Congress can help make that happen by following Minnesota's lead and passing a national 100% clean electricity standard.
Polling shows Americans want a healthy, clean-powered future, with two-thirds of American voters in support of moving the country to a 100% clean electricity grid by 2035. Across all backgrounds, zip codes, and political parties, Americans are ready to join Minnesota on the journey to a prosperous future powered by 100% clean, pollution-free electricity.
Now more than ever, we need to work together to create good jobs, reduce air pollution, safeguard our health, and protect our communities from the devastating impacts of climate change. Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes—and now on its way to becoming the Land of 10,000 clean energy projects—can lead the way. Following Minnesota's lead, Congress must do whatever it takes to secure a healthier and safer future, powered by pollution-free sources, for all Americans.
ACT NOW: Demand Congress pass a national 100% Clean Electricity Standard for all.
Dear Members of Congress,
As climate change, air pollution, and environmental injustices ravage our communities and threaten our health and livelihoods, moving away from fossil fuels has never been more urgent. That's why transitioning our country to carbon-free energy sources like wind and solar is absolutely imperative. The most popular, possible, and practical way to do this is by passing a national 100% Clean Electricity Standard—whatever form it takes.
Across all backgrounds, zip codes, and political parties, Americans are ready for a prosperous future and a country powered by 100% clean, pollution-free electricity. Policies to equitably transition to 100% clean electricity are consistently popular with majorities of all voters. Here are the numbers:
- 62% of U.S. adults support moving the country to a 100% clean electricity grid by 2035.
- 79% of U.S. adults think the U.S. should prioritize developing alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar.
- 90% of U.S. adults support building more solar farms.
- 83% of U.S. adults support building more wind farms.
- 65% of U.S. adults say that the federal government is doing too little to reduce the effects of climate change and protect air quality.
Now is the moment to raise the standard to 100% clean electricity for America. We urge you to pass a 100% Clean Electricity Standard by any means necessary. Seize the moment to secure once-in-a-generation climate policy. The future of our health, our livelihoods, and our planet depends on it.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
