San Diego just went for 100 percent clean energy -- tell your mayor that you are ready for 100 percent too!

San Diego, just passed the strongest clean energy law of any other major U.S. city, in U.S. history.

This law commits the city of San Diego, the 8th largest city in America, to 100% clean and renewable energy by 2035.

The law says that San Diego will get 100% of its energy from clean energy sources by 2035, and sets a pathway to achieve that goal. The clean energy mandate is part of a bigger picture Climate Action Plan to reduce San Diego’s carbon pollution. In addition to 100% clean energy, the Climate Action Plan also addresses energy-efficient buildings, water conservation, and green transportation options such as bicycling, public transit, and more.

Across the board, people in both red states and blue states are realizing that modernizing our cities with 100% clean and renewable energy will help create jobs and boost local economies. Cities like Aspen, CO, Georgetown, TX, and Burlington, VT, have already achieved 100% clean energy. And internationally, Vancouver, Paris, and Sydney are also going all-in on clean energy.

Pollution is simply too costly -- to our health, our wallets, and our communities. And that’s something both parties can agree on.

Sign the petition to tell your mayor that you're ready for 100% clean and renewable energy too!

Dear Mayor,

San Diego, just passed the strongest clean energy law of any other major U.S. city, in U.S. history.

Across the board, people in both red states and blue states are realizing that modernizing our cities with 100 percent clean and renewable energy will help create jobs and boost local economies. Cities like Aspen, CO, Georgetown, TX, and Burlington, VT, have already achieved 100 percent clean energy. And internationally, Vancouver, Paris, and Sydney are also going all-in on clean energy.

A recent economic study estimated that a transition to clean energy will add 1 million jobs in the U.S. by 2030 and increase household disposable income by $350-$400 in 2030 and by as much as $650 in 2050 (source: http://nextgenamerica.org/blog/our-clean-energy-economy/)

The renewable energy sector is booming. Wind and solar prices have rapidly declined in the past five years, and the solar industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the US economy.

Poll after poll shows that a majority of Americans support renewable energy. In a recent national survey of U.S. adults paid for by the Sierra Club, a whopping 83 percent of respondents said they support a goal of 100 percent  clean energy.

With San Diego leading the way, it’s time for our city to step up to the plate. We too deserve clean air, good jobs, and strong leadership.

I’m ready for our city to go 100 percent clean energy -- are you?!
