| Description: | Repower America is the bold clean energy plan to “repower†our country with 100% clean electricity within 10 years. First described in a speech last July by Al Gore, Repower America means new industries with high-paying jobs. It means lower energy costs. And, it means substituting clean domestic sources of energy and a transition away from dirty coal and foreign oil. Read about the goal here. By making buildings and homes more efficient, ramping up renewable energy generation, constructing a unified national smart grid, and transitioning to clean and affordable plug-in cars, we can address our country’s economic and national security challenges—all while making huge strides to solve the climate crisis. Please join with Al Gore and more than two million others calling on our leaders to Repower America with 100% clean electricity within 10 years. |
