By encouraging renewables like wind and solar,

increasing energy efciency and ending unfair
energy policies, we can dramatically reduce harmful
pollution. We believe the Clean Energy Commitment
can help bring America together to make progress
together for a better future. According to a recent
YouGov poll, 80% of Americansincluding 67%
of Republicans, 95% of Democrats, and 75%
of Independentssupport the Clean Energy
Commitment.1

The Clean
Energy
Commitment
Building a better future
for America
The Clean Energy Commitment is a call
to action to cut air pollution and leave a
healthier and better future for our kids
and grandkids.

Moving rapidly to clean energy is good for the

health of our families, especially children and
seniors. It will be also a big step towards reducing
the damaging impacts of climate change and
growing a prosperous clean energy economy.
We ask our elected representatives at all levels to
support The Clean Energy Commitment and work
together to build policy solutions.

We believe:
Companies that contribute to
carbon pollution should be
responsible for its impacts.
When companies are responsible for their pollution,
it creates incentives for innovation and more clean
energy jobs while protecting our kids and wildlife
from climate change.

Taxpayers should not be

subsidizing the energy sources
of the past.
Rather than using taxpayer money to subsidize
the energy sources of the past, we need sensible
incentives for the clean, innovative, and job-creating
energy sources of the future.

Everyone should have the

freedom to choose clean,
affordable energy.
Outdated rules are still limiting who has access to
clean energy. Government rules shouldnt stand in
the way of our freedom to choose clean energy
especially as the cost of renewables plummets and
clean energy jobs multiply.
