The good news is that we now have the technology to power our electricity grid with natural resources like the sun and the wind. These resources don’t have any carbon emissions and are actually cheaper to produce than electricity from burning coal. So, what’s keeping the world from making the switch? Capital to build new renewable energy facilities.
This is where companies and consumers can get looped in to accelerate the greening of the grid. By doing what they are already doing—selling and buying stuff every day—we can clear out the carbon from one of the top polluters in our economy–our power sector.
Some places are worse off than others. When we turn on the lights or power our phones we’re most likely using electricity that came from a dirty source—like coal or natural gas—that pushes thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide emissions into the air we breathe.
Some communities have fewer power source choices, so it is important to build in the dirtiest parts of the grid to clear out the carbon with zero-emission solar energy. We can accelerate the greening of the grid starting with the communities that are getting left behind and don’t have access to clean energy—getting the biggest bang for the buck.
Companies are starting to take responsibility for their impact on their environment and look to invest some of their dollars on tangible impact. They can do more than just be neutral–with Clearloop they have the opportunity to loop in their customers as they reclaim 100% of their carbon footprint by clearing up the equivalent carbon from electricity and putting clean energy back into our grid.
Every community in our country deserves to have the benefits of clean energy. That’s why we’re looking for partner companies who want to loop in their customers–no matter where they live–and help accelerate the greening of the grid by clearing out the carbon from our grid one product at a time.
