September 20, 2021

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- National Clean Energy Week (NCEW) kicks-off today with proclamations from more than half of the nation’s governors recognizing September 20-24, 2021 as Clean Energy Week in their respective states in conjunction with the fifth anniversary of NCEW.

“Thank you to this distinguished, bipartisan group of our nation’s state and local leaders for recognizing the important role that clean energy plays in addressing economic and energy needs through their Clean Energy Week proclamations,” said Heather Reams, chair of NCEW and executive director of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES). “This broad, bipartisan support from across the country makes it clear that America is ready for a clean energy future. Yet today, 85 percent of greenhouse gas emissions are created outside of the United States. This means that U.S. energy and climate policy must foster innovation and commercialization pathways that work as well for our country as they do for those across the globe. I encourage all Americans to join their state and federal leaders this week in celebration of National Clean Energy Week and all that the clean energy sector can do to improve our environment, economy and country.”

Twenty-six governors as well as the mayor of the District of Columbia have issued proclamations with more states expected to join them throughout the week. Clean Energy Week proclamations to date are below:

Arizona

Mississippi

Oklahoma

Colorado

Missouri

Pennsylvania

Georgia

Nebraska

South Carolina

Idaho

Nevada

South Dakota

Indiana

New Hampshire

Tennessee

Iowa

New Mexico

Vermont

Maine

North Carolina

Virginia

Maryland

North Dakota

Washington, D.C.

Massachusetts

Ohio

West Virginia

Samples of bipartisan support from state officials for NCEW are as follows:

“New Hampshire is an environmentally-driven state that has brought together stakeholders to develop strategic approaches that deliver environmental wins, including our recent expansion of net metering, all while protecting the ratepayer with an eye towards reducing overall costs,” said New Hampshire Governor Christopher Sununu (R-NH). “I am proud to proclaim September 20-24 as Clean Energy Week in New Hampshire in recognition of the proactive steps we’ve taken to ensure the continued growth of renewable energy sources.”

“I have made it a top priority throughout my administration to ensure that Pennsylvania addresses climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which will improve our environment, spur quality jobs, and benefit consumers through reduced energy costs,” said Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf (D-PA). “Clean Energy Week is an opportunity to highlight the meaningful environmental and economic benefits of the industry while renewing our commitment to a cleaner, greener environment.”

“I’m glad to recognize Clean Energy Week here in Oklahoma,” said Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt (R-OK). “Wind is key to Oklahoma’s ‘All of the Above’ energy approach, and we’re proud to be a Top Ten state in net generation”

“The urgency to combat climate change and build a more sustainable future is clear, and Washington, DC is proud to serve as an international model for building greener, more resilient cities,” said District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser (D). “We know that by working together – at home and with communities around the globe – we can deliver results in the form of green jobs and economic development, energy independence, and, ultimately, a healthier planet and a better quality of life for everyone.”

Founded in 2017, NCEW brings together government officials, industry associations, businesses, non-profits, and advocates in the clean energy space for events in Washington, D.C., and across America. The weeklong recognition honors the clean energy sector’s contributions to America’s economic strength while reducing global emissions. Among the unique programming offered throughout the week, theNCEW Policy Makers Symposium will convene lawmakers, energy advocates, and private sector leaders for enlightening and influential clean energy and climate policy discussions.

Additional information about NCEW—including in-person events and registration for the Policy Makers Symposium—is available at https://nationalcleanenergyweek.org/.

National Clean Energy Week (NCEW), described by POLITICO [guy went to cres?] as “a veritable who’s who of the Clean Energy World,” is an annual awareness week to recognize the value of clean energy including abundant job opportunities, economic growth, energy independence, consumer choice, lower energy prices, and a cleaner environment.

It’s All Just a Little Bit of History Repeating

Morning Consult March 16, 2017

It’s a frequent refrain that those who fail to learn from the past are inevitably destined to repeat it. A cursory glance through history offers recurring examples of minorities being scapegoated to suit the nationalistic desires of failed leaders and movements. President Trump’s executive orders banning entry of refugees and travelers from select Muslim-majority countries represent one recent example of this kind of dark isolationism. His actions run afoul of our history and represent…

CRES was proud to formally endorse a list of 29 Clean Energy Champions in 2016 who advocated the advancement of renewable energy solutions on the campaign trail and Capitol Hill. We also invested more than 1.5 million in radio, digital, TV advertising, and direct mail, across many of these most competitive races. Nearly 90 percent of our champions will be sworn into office in January, as 25 of them won either election or reelection.

In fact, Republicans in many of the most competitive…

The crop is certainly not lacking for experience with five senators, nine governors, a fortune 500 CEO and a neurosurgeon. With so many potential nominees crisscrossing the early primary states it’s increasingly clear that candidates will likely end up declaring victory in early nominating contests by barely acquiring double-digit support among…

As Republicans, we know that our party’s foundation — built on fiscal conservatism, strong national security and family values — brings together Americans from diverse backgrounds. So it’s no surprise that we don’t always agree on every issue.

But combating climate change can and should bring fiscal, social and national security conservatives together. Why? Because protecting our environment and building a secure future for America is our greatest obligation — and our greatest…

The President's Missed Opportunity for Bipartisan Consensus on the Environment

The Daily Caller January 30, 2014

Perhaps the president should have taken a page out of President Reagan’s third State of the Union Address – delivered 30 years ago. In that speech, President Reagan fought back against the notion that the responsibility of protecting the environment belonged to one political party when he said, “preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge, it’s common sense.”
