The Results: Citizens Demand a Clean Energy Future
Over
the past five weeks, we watched a movement grow. We found that across the
country,
voters
from
all walks
of life are
passionate about
the
need for a clean energy future that creates jobs and solves global warming.
And
they want their elected leaders, including the next president, to commit
to moving
that vision forward.
We heard that message again and again in the Sierra Club's
Power 2 Change campaign, an unprecedented -- and hugely successful -- organizing
effort in
nine states. In just over 4 1/2 weeks, organizers mobilized a sweeping
force of grassroots volunteers who collected more than 50,000 petition
signatures, handed out 20,000 energy-efficient CFL light bulbs and organized
dozens
of
events that drew attention to clean energy champions and their successes.
In the process, we educated over 100,000 voters about the choices we face
in 2008, and made quite clear the contrasts between competing visions of
our energy future.
The Power 2 Change campaign generated extraordinary public
demand for clean energy options and called for elected officials to commit to
moving a clean
energy agenda -- locally and nationally.
The Power 2 Change is Sierra Club's national clean energy advocacy campaign to educate the public about what is at stake in the 2008 elections. The Power 2 Change campaign will define the contrast between competing visions of our energy future.

The choices we make in 2008 will define our future - especially when it comes to the election and energy issues. The contrast between competing visions of America's energy future could not be sharper this year: we can move forward or continue the policies of the past.
