State progress on clean energy

We helped enact energy-efficiency standards for a variety of products in 11 states. We've worked with 25 states to pass a renewable energy standards. And we've helped 12 states cut global warming pollution with clean cars programs. When enacted, these programs will reduce gasoline consumption by as much as 7.2 billion gallons per year in 2020 and save consumers up to $16.7 billion annually at the pump in 2020. Read more.

Sign the petition: Dear Senator, We can repower Connecticut with clean solar energy, which will create new green jobs while also reducing energy costs and global warming pollution. That's why I urge you to vote for H.B. 6635, An Act Concerning Solar Power, when the Legislature convenes in 2010. The "Solar Bill," which the House passed unanimously in 2009, would: * Build 300 megawatts or more of new rooftop solar power systems on homes, businesses and schools statewide over the next decade—enough to power 100,000 homes. * Create thousands of new green jobs in the solar power industry here in Connecticut. * Reduce our dependence on coal, oil and gas power plants and cut Connecticut’s global warming pollution by 3 million tons or more.
