Clean Energy

The way we produce and use energy has a significant impact on our environment and public health, and for too long the debate has been dominated by big energy companies and the coal, oil, gas and nuclear industry.

From the air and water pollution caused by coal-fired power plants, to the toxic waste created by nuclear power plants, to the excess pollution created by wasted energy, it is obvious that we need cleaner energy solutions.

Environment Rhode Island is working for progress by advocating for solutions across Rhode Island and in Washington, D.C., that will create a new energy future for Rhode Island—one that looks first to clean energy sources like renewable energy and energy efficiency to meet our energy needs.
