Now, more than ever, everyone must be attentive, informed and proactive
Renewable Energy Advocate
I will educate friends, family and my wider community and make my voice heard with representatives at all levels of government and in the press about how clean energy adoption leads to healthier, cleaner, more economically secure and resilient communities.
Renewable Energy Consumer
I will adapt my purchasing and investing behaviors to favor products that support the triple bottom line – people, planet, and profit.
Renewable Energy Voter
I will vote across all local, state, and federal elections, for policy and action that spurs equitable clean energy adoption that is a proven winner for the economy, jobs, resiliency, health, and the environment.
As part of the United States agenda for National Security, solar energy must be included as an inexhaustible, reliable, and cheap domestic energy source.
Solar energy accounted for approximately 75% of new electricity generating capacity in 2024. Renewable energy accounts for 30% of our country’s generating capacity and employs three times more workers than those associated with traditional energy sources (1).
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest outlook for the U.S. workforce estimates wind turbine service technicians and solar photovoltaic installers will be the fastest-growing occupations in the country for the next decade.
Global solar capacity has reached a record 2 terawatts with more added in the last two years than the previous 68 combined. Also In North America, renewable technologies’ levelized cost of electricity declined by 4.6% in 2024, which is largely due to solar and wind.
The American Solar Energy Society supports a call to immediate action to choose renewable energy as a path to energy independence, job creation, domestic manufacturing, clean air and water, and a prosperous future.
