Twenty-two states have set the goal of achieving 100 percent carbon-free power generation, and Georgia is not one of them. DeKalb County, Atlanta, Athens-Clarke County, Augusta-Richmond County, Clarkston, Decatur, and Savannah have made 100% clean energy commitments without state leadership. Now that federal investments are catalyzing the good work already happening in our state, GCV has launched an ambitious, multi-year 100% Renewable Energy Campaign to put Georgia on a path for 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2050. We are encouraging elected leaders all across the state to take full advantage of funds flowing from the Affordable Clean Energy Plan to get there. One in three Americans live in a state committed to 100% clean energy. Why not us? Georgia is one of only 11 states with no renewable energy goals or plans to reduce carbon pollution. This failure risks lives and costs billions of our tax dollars in damage. Georgia can achieve its renewable energy goals, create a cleaner and healthier place to live, and avoid the worst impacts of climate change. We can’t wait any longer. Contact your legislators today!
