Let's Repower America
Use the form to the right to urge Congress to repower America with clean energy.
Petition Text
We can repower America with clean energy, protect our environment, and transform our economy in the process -- putting millions of Americans to work building wind turbines, installing solar panels, weatherizing homes, and building the 100-miles-per-gallon cars of the future. President Obama has called for Congress to act. We urge you to support:
• Requiring utilities to generate at least 25 percent of the nation’s energy from renewable sources, such as wind and solar power, by 2025.
• Cutting energy use in new buildings by half and requiring utilities to use 15 percent less energy by 2020.
• Reducing global warming pollution by 35 percent by 2020 and by at least 80 percent by 2050.
• Holding Big Oil, Dirty Coal and other polluters accountable and making them pay for their global warming pollution.
Energy Building a new energy futureIn 2006, voters approved Initiative 937, which requires utilities to
get at least 15 percent of their power from renewable energy and to
increase energy conservation programs. Environment Washington worked
with a broad coalition of labor, religious, business and environmental
organizations to bring the question to voters.
