Sierra Club Welcomes Clinton Clean Energy Plan


WASHINGTON, D.C. –(ENEWSPF)—July 26, 2015. Tonight, 2016 Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton rolled out her plan to fight the climate crisis and grow the clean energy economy to 33 percent of the nation’s energy mix by 2027, enough to power every home in America.

The Sierra Club has not yet begun the endorsement process for the 2016 Presidential race.

In response, Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune released the following statement:

“The Sierra Club and our 2.4 million members and supporters welcome Hillary Clinton’s strong plan for accelerating our nation’s clean energy growth to fight the climate crisis.

“We are thrilled to hear Sen. Clinton’s full support for the Clean Power Plan, and her plans to go well beyond it. Make no mistake – a healthy and just economy powered by 100% clean energy is not only possible – it’s inevitable.

“Americans want climate action and strongly prefer clean energy over fossil fuels.  We’re pleased that Sen. Clinton has taken note by prioritizing clean energy growth.
