Friend, something extraordinary happened this year.

For the first time, renewable energy produced more electricity than coal, and the growth in solar and wind met all new global energy demand. Around the world, greenhouse gas emissions from power generation have plateaued.

This moment proves what we've known all along: clean energy is affordable, reliable, and generating power right now. But while the rest of the world is racing ahead, the U.S. is stumbling backward.

The Trump administration has blocked renewable projects, cut clean energy incentives, and rolled back efficiency standards that helped lower household costs. Families are now paying the price -- literally. Electricity rates have jumped nearly ten percent nationally in the last year, and utilities in 41 states are asking to raise rates again.

We can't afford this energy price hike due to Trump's attacks on renewable energy projects. Clean energy isn't just a climate solution -- it's a cost-of-living solution. It lowers bills, keeps the lights on, and gives families control over their energy future.

The global transition is accelerating -- and the U.S. should be leading it, not sabotaging it.

Together, we can show that clean energy means lower bills, stronger communities, and a livable planet for all.

In Solidarity,
Sierra Club
