Mayors representing 300 cities across the United States have signed on to a letter, released this week by Environment America Research & Policy Center, calling for a future powered by more clean renewable solar power. The group of “Mayors for Solar Energy” committed to this cause is bipartisan and represents cities of all sizes spanning all 50 states.
“Solar energy is being embraced nationwide at a pace we once thought to be impossible, and America’s cities are at the forefront of this progress,” said Ben Sonnega, Environment America Research & Policy Center’s Go Solar campaign associate. “Local officials are unlocking the power of the sun by taking advantage of millions of available rooftops and broad public support to bring cleaner, greener and more resilient energy to their communities.”
Many of the mayors involved in this effort are not only signing on to the letter and program, but are also speaking publicly about the importance of solar power.
Mayor Buddy Dyer from Orlando, Florida, said, “Solar energy presents a bright opportunity for our city to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, improve air quality and public health. It also helps diversify our local economy, create quality jobs in the green industry, and address one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity — the climate change crisis.”
The Mayors for Solar Energy project goes beyond the letter itself. It also includes resources such as the Ten Ways Your Community Can Go Solar policy toolkit and webinar training to help cities adopt more renewable energy.
