Contact your Members of Congress and urge them to support a 25% Renewable Electricity Standard by 2025. A renewable electricity standard (RES) is a policy to ensure that a growing percentage of electricity is produced from renewable sources, like wind power. 

To create a long-term commitment to renewable energy, the U.S. needs to adopt a national RES that calls for 25% of our electricity to come from renewable resources, such as wind and solar power, by the year 2025. 

This policy would foster a sound investment climate for renewable energy manufacturers to invest billions of dollars in new facilities and employ hundreds of thousands of Americans in high-quality jobs.  The Senate and House of Representatives are currently considering energy legislation that includes a national RES. 

Draft bills are currently calling for only half of the 25% by 2025 level - not strong enough to demonstrate a true national commitment to renewables.  NOW is the time to let your Members of Congress know that you support a meaningful RES. 

Please take a moment to contact your Senators and Representative and express your support for a national 25% renewable electricity by 2025 policy.  Click here to contact your Senators and Representative to express your support for a national RES.

The wind energy industry seeks a national 25% renewable electricity by 2025 standard.

This policy would provide a long-term commitment to renewable energy in the U.S., giving businesses the certainty they need to invest in new wind energy manufacturing facilities, and to expand current ones - creating tens of thousands of new American jobs.

 This long-term policy would also put the U.S. on a path to achieving the significant carbon dioxide emission reductions desperately needed to protect the health of our planet.

Please contact your Senators and Representative to express your support for a national RES and to ask them to co-sponsor the leading RES proposals.
