A Vision of 100% Clean Energy
Sierra Club envisions a world powered by clean energy, where dirty and dangerous fossil fuels are a thing of the past and everyone can enjoy cleaner air and water thanks to renewable energy resources. We are committed to creating a clean energy revolution where all people have access to sustainable energy including distributed generation, local solar, energy storage, and sustainably sited large-scale renewable energy projects.
Clean energy and energy efficiency are already powering our homes and our economy, and investment in solar and wind is driving a new era of true American prosperity. In Maine, we have tremendous opportunities to invest in energy efficiency and clean renewable energy including solar, onshore wind, and offshore wind. And as the nation's most heating oil-dependent state and with special natural resources threatened by climate disruption, Maine has a lot to gain from transitioning to 100% clean energy as quickly as possible.
