U.S. Mayors Band Together In Support Of Solar

A bipartisan group of 180 U.S. mayors, representing cities large and small in 42 states, is speaking out in support of solar energy. In a letter released by Environment America, the mayors resolve to make solar power a key element of their communities’ energy plans. “The transition to a clean energy future is one of the greatest opportunities of the 21st century for cities to improve community health, quality of life, environmental sustainability, and a vibrant and robust economy,” says Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. “More than 50 percent of the world’s population now lives in cities, so we have to be the ones leading on important issues such as climate resiliency and sustainability.”
