Fixing our economy, transforming our energy future, slowing and ultimately reversing climate change and its consequences will require a clear agenda and aggressive timetable that will allow us to repower and rebuild America.
Our Program
The Sierra Club is helping to grow a clean-energy economy in the U.S. by:
- Repowering America with green, renewable energy: Wind, solar, and other safe, clean sources of power that will energize a new American century.
- Rebuilding America with high-performance homes and buildings: Smarter, greener buildings that eliminate global warming emissions, reduce utility bills, and generate renewable energy.
- Linking it all together with a 21st-century "electranet:" An energy internet that links homes to a smart grid powered by clean energy. The electranet can reduce electricity consumption through a national transmission network that supports large-scale renewable energy and local energy generation that frees homes and businesses to produce their own energy.
We can build an unprecedented coalition of workers, non-profits and businesses to retrofit our inefficient buildings, construct new low-carbon structures, modernize our energy grid, push for laws requiring energy utilities to provide greater percentages of electricity from renewable sources, and allow companies and consumers to earn money from saving energy or generating clean power.
We can keep the lights on and grow our economy while reducing energy use and transitioning rapidly away from oil and coal, to solar, wind and other clean power.
A clean energy economy will create millions of new domestic jobs, develop the technologies of the future that we can sell to the rest of the world, and provide a high quality of life for American families.
