Investing in renewable, clean energy solutions benefits communities in many ways. That means retiring coal plants and not building new dirty gas plants that would continue to pollute our air and climate. Cities, counties, towns, and neighborhoods powered by clean energy are healthier, enjoy a better quality of life, and even see an economic boost by attracting community investment and creating new jobs.
