About CLEAN

All major advancements towards a more civil, just, and equal society--civil rights, suffrage, abolition, democracy itself--have occurred because an organized, community-based movement educated their fellow citizens and mobilized opinion and action behind specific policies that benefited them and the common good.

We believe that reshaping American energy policy requires no less of an effort, and, to this end, CLEAN will methodically organize the citizenry and then properly execute our coordinated power.

CLEAN is a collaborative movement of state and local organizations and individuals who will force and support policy makers at all levels of government to implement new energy policies. The policies we desire are based on decentralized control of energy, whereby energy is generated by regionally appropriate, reliable, and renewable resources, such as wind, solar, and geothermal. We seek policies that will protect our environment, cease and reverse global warming, disentangle the US from unstable regions of the world, and create a new energy economy that promises jobs and a sustainable and equitable economic prosperity.

American energy policy is overly influenced or outright controlled by the major, non-renewable energy providers--Coal, Nuclear, Oil--and not by the United States citizenry or for our common good. This energy policy and the political climate that enables it has created a reliance on fossil fuels that now endangers our health, environment, security, and economic prosperity.

CLEAN will advance this new energy future by educating and coordinating the citizenry to exercise its own power and influence and reclaim its rightful role in democratic self-determination.
