Clean Energy Now

The transition to clean energy is not complete, and the work of the Green New Deal remains unfinished. While recent legislation invested in renewable power, manufacturing, and infrastructure, it did not fully transform our energy system or meet the scale of the climate crisis. We must continue the fight to move faster and go further.

Clean energy lowers costs for families by reducing reliance on volatile fossil fuel markets and expanding affordable solar, wind, and storage. It creates good paying local jobs in construction, manufacturing, and maintenance that cannot be outsourced. Investing in domestic renewable energy strengthens national security and stabilizes long term energy prices.

We must accelerate the shift to 100 percent renewable energy, modernize the electric grid, expand public transit, and support electric vehicle infrastructure. Communities that have long borne the burden of pollution deserve priority investment, cleaner air, and safer water. Climate policy is also public health policy.

AI and the Emerging Energy Surge

The rapid emergence of artificial intelligence is driving a new wave of electricity demand. Data centers powering AI tools, automation, and digital services consume vast amounts of energy, and that demand is only growing. If we are going to build the future on advanced computing, it must run on clean power, not coal or gas.

We will push for renewable energy requirements for new data centers and encourage efficient, closed loop cooling systems that reduce wasteful water use. Innovation should not come at the cost of our climate or our freshwater supplies. As AI expands, we must ensure that the energy fueling it accelerates the clean transition rather than setting it back.

The goal is simple: protect future generations while building a stronger economy today. By pairing bold clean energy policy with responsible oversight of emerging technologies, we can power innovation, create jobs, and safeguard our communities for decades to come.
