Clean Energy 

According to researchers at MIT and the US Department of Energy,
​
renewable energy could meet 80% of US electricity needs by 2050 

CLEAN ENERGY=CLEANER ENVIRONMENT

CLEANER AIR 
Fossil fuel is the biggest cause of air pollution.  Switching to clean energy would decrease asthma, heart disease, and cancer and save up to 100,000 lives a year in the US

SAFER FOOD
Coal burning pollutes our air and water with MERCURY that concentrates up the food chain into fish and people.  It passes from pregnant mothers to their babies, causing lifelong brain damage and developmental disabilities.  Leaving coal in the ground  would prevent toxic mercury exposure in about 300,000 babies born in the US each year.
SAFER WATER
Coal mining and fracking put heavy metals, carcinogenic chemicals, and radioactive waste into rivers and groundwater that are the source of drinking water for hundreds of thousands of Americans. Switching to clean energy would eliminate this threat to our drinking water.

To keep global temperature increase under 2 C (3.6F) we must get half our power from clean energy by 2030 AND WE CAN! 

Frontrunner Cities are surpassing this goal.         
Houston TX 50%, Aspen, CO 75%, Greensburg, KS 100%, 
Palo Alto, CA 100%, Burlington, VT 100%,  91 communities in Illinois 100% renewable
