https://www.environmentmassachusetts.org/actionWe have enormous untapped power. Here in Massachusetts and across America, we can harness the wind and sun to power our future and leave dirty, dangerous energy behind.
We�re calling on Congress to invest in a green economic recovery for America. We're asking them to make increasing energy efficiency, expanding public transportation, deploying renewable energy technology, and reducing the pollution that causes global warming central elements in America�s economic policies.
Take action
Sign our petition to Congress, urging them to commit to repowering America with 100 percent clean, renewable electricity, such as wind and solar, and to cut our dependence on oil in half.
Overview
We're working to make sure that Congress approves an economic recovery package and legislation that:
* Requires that America generate 100 percent of its electricity from clean, renewable sources such as wind and solar power;
* Cuts our dependence on oil in half; and
* Reduces heat-trapping global warming pollution at least 80 percent by 2050.
