  • Clean energy from the sun, wind and earth can help clean up the air we breathe, protect the water we drink from pollution, and ensure healthier communities.

  • Here in the U.S., we have more than enough solar and wind potential to meet our energy needs both now and in the future. We have more than we need to power our lives without polluting.

  • In 2021, the technologies that will enable us to take advantage of our clean energy resources are already here, and they are more affordable and efficient than ever. From solar panels and wind turbines to energy storage and efficiency, we have the tools we need.

  • A new report from Environment America Research & Policy Center called We Have the Power: Reaching America's potential for clean, renewable energy lays out four areas where we can focus on making progress: building more renewables; updating our power grid; reducing and managing energy use; and using electricity to power as much as possible.

  • With clean, renewable energy, we could turn the heat of the earth, the warmth on our rooftops and the wind on our plains and off our shores into one of our most powerful tools to tackle climate change and ensure a livable future for our children.
