Repower America

We have enormous untapped power. Here in Colorado 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.

In just the past year, Colorado’s own investment in clean energy has lead the Danish company Vestas to announce four new wind manufacturing plants in Colorado.

And with additional investment from Congress, Colorado could tap into the full potential of its renewable energy resources.

Colorado’s windy eastern plains could harvest enough energy to power our state eight times over. Currently, wind farms in Colorado provide enough electricity to power 350,000 homes each year.

And by using just two percent of the solar power in the San Luis Valley, concentrating solar power plants could meet half of Colorado’s electricity needs.

Send an e-mail 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.

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.

The oil and coal companies are fighting to stay the course: ExxonMobil and other big energy companies are spending millions on political contributions, ads and lobbyists to keep us on the wrong path—pushing more of the same old polluting policies.
