CLEAN ENERGY TO POWER THE PLANET.
HELP PRESERVE THE PLANET YOU LOVE.
Get started today & help us reach our goal of switching 1M people over to clean energy .
Help us remove billions of pounds of carbon emissions which is like planting millions of new trees.
WHY CLEAN ENERGY
THE FACTS
Our modern world is fueled by electricity — it helps heat (and cool) our homes, charge our devices and power our lives. Traditionally, power was created through nonrenewable fuel sources, like coal and natural gas, but as alternative generation technology became more widely available, more energy companies have been harnessing the power of our natural world.
Choosing renewable sources helps decrease pollutant production, greenhouse gases and our carbon footprint. The world runs on power, and we need to think ahead to have a future that’s sustainable for our planet and our changing climate. By choosing clean power, you’re making a green difference for our environment and helping ensure a more eco-conscious energy market.

THE ISSUES
ENVIRONMENT
It’s a sad fact that most of the electricity in the United States is made from dirty, polluting, non-renewable sources such as fossil fuels. In fact, generating electricity is the #1 industrial cause of air pollution in the U.S., creating more CO2 emissions than any other sector and increasing the effects of climate change.
Clean energy, on the other hand, is 100% pollution-free. It’s produced using naturally replenished and virtually inexhaustible sources like the sun and wind. Best of all, it can have a positive impact on the effects of climate change.
THE URGENCY
TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR THE PLANET
The transition to 100% renewable energy must take place within about a century because fossil fuels will become too rare and expensive to burn. But scientists warn that if the transition does not happen much faster than that, there is a danger that we may reach a tipping point beyond which feedback loops could take over and produce a catastrophic increase in global temperature.

THE SOLUTION
HELP US PROTECT THE PLANET
Solar energy creates clean and renewable power from the sun that has no harmful effects on the environment. Clean energy reduces your carbon footprint at home and reduces the productions of fossil fuels. Solar power has many favorable impacts on the environment.
Reducing industrial impacts
Fossil fuels create a lot of pollutants. Smog and dirty air are bad for the environment, bad for our health, and bad for aesthetics. When pollutants get trapped in the air everything gets worse. Solar panels help combat air pollution. Getting solar panels would create clean energy that won't contribute to air pollution.
Working together
If we work together to reduce air pollution we can help improve humanity's health in the long run. the US Office of Energy Efficiency believes that a solar energy system can help us reduce water scarcity, and have a positive effect on mankind's health. In fact, they estimate that we could save more than 25,000 lives with cleaner air in our lungs.
Climate Change
The continuous dump of pollutants and additional CO2 into the air takes a big toll on our planet. It makes it harder for the environment to produce clean air. As the carbon count continues to increase, so will our retention of heat from the sun. These changing air conditions will continue to have an effect on different climates.
