Received this e-mail today from former Treasurer Cary Kennedy’s (D. CO) gubernatorial campaign:
It’s official. President Trump pulled the United States out of the Paris Global Climate Agreement. But we can’t let Washington hold us back. With or without Washington’s help, Colorado will continue to lead.
Climate change is the greatest threat to humanity. We have a moral imperative to do what we can. Today. Together.
In 2004 Colorado passed the first in the nation, voter-approved renewable energy standard. We will likely reach this target ahead of time and it’s time we raised it.
Sign the petition: raise Colorado’s renewable energy standard from 30% to 50%.
My goal as governor is for Colorado to have the cleanest air in the country, and to be a model for the nation in using wind and solar energy.
We can accomplish these goals and strengthen Colorado’s economy. We can keep electricity affordable, reduce carbon pollution and bring new jobs to Colorado, especially in rural areas. In 2015, cleantech businesses employed 4,250 workers in eastern Colorado alone. This lays the foundation for economic prosperity for our state for decades to come.
The livelihood of my children and yours depends on the actions we take together right now, no matter what Donald Trump has to say about it.
Add your name to support generating at least 50% of Colorado’s energy needs from renewable sources.
