Markey (D-MA) and Cory Booker (D-NJ), introduced landmark climate legislation Thursday that would transition the United States to 100 percent clean and renewable energy by no later than 2050.<\/p>\n<p>La \u201cLey 100 para el 50\u201d establece una hoja de ruta para una transici\u00f3n hacia la energ\u00eda limpia y renovable 100% para 2050. Es el primer proyecto de ley presentado en el Congreso que prever\u00e1 plenamente una transici\u00f3n fuera de los combustibles f\u00f3siles para Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;America is home to innovative entrepreneurs and scientists who have tackled many challenges in our nation&rsquo;s history &mdash; from harnessing electricity, to putting a man on the moon, to curing disease,&rdquo; said Merkley. &ldquo;The power to end the use of fossil fuels and completely transition to clean and renewable energy is within our hands, but just as with the moon landing, we need a roadmap, a goal, and a passionate, shared national commitment to get us there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If an asteroid were hurtling its way through space towards our planet, we would do everything in our power to stop that asteroid. Our commitment to fighting climate change should be no less. Starting at a local, grassroots level and working toward the bold and comprehensive national vision laid out in this legislation, now is the time to commit to 100% by 2050.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The good news is that despite President Trump, we are winning this battle,&rdquo; said Sanders. &ldquo;In Vermont and all over this country, we are seeing communities moving toward energy efficiency and we are seeing the price of renewable energy plummet. Our job is to think big, not small. We can win the war against climate change. We can win the war in transforming our energy system and put millions of people to work doing that. We can create a planet that will be healthy and habitable for our children. There is no issue more important.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is no longer a question of if we can power our country with 100 percent renewable energy, it is a question of when,&rdquo; said Markey. &ldquo;We know that we have 100 percent of the clean energy resource potential in the United States. And we have 100 percent of the technological capability to achieve this goal. As President Trump launches attacks on investments in climate science and energy innovation, now, more than ever, we need to stand up and fight for our clean energy future. I thank Senators Merkley and Sanders for their help leading this historic clean energy revolution.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are in a race against climate change and need to reduce our carbon emissions as quickly as possible,&rdquo; said Booker. &ldquo;This legislation creates a framework for a transition to a 100% clean and renewable energy future, while also providing resources to ensure that all of our communities share in the opportunities that will be created.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>On&nbsp;Thursday, Merkley, Sanders, and Markey were joined at an event to announce the legislation by environmental, social justice, business, and labor leaders. The speakers discussed ways that local and regional governments and organizations can begin to plan the transition to 100% now, and the critical importance of bold climate action before it is too late.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;100 is an important number. Instead of making changes around the margins, this bill would finally commit America to the wholesale energy transformation that technology has made possible and affordable, and that an eroding climate makes utterly essential,&rdquo; said Bill McKibben, 350.org co-founder. &ldquo;This bill won&#8217;t pass Congress immediately&#8211;the fossil fuel industry will see to that&#8211;but it will change the debate in fundamental ways.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Burning fossil fuels is polluting our air, water and land. &nbsp;It&rsquo;s threatening our health and changing our climate even faster than scientists predicted,&rdquo; said Margie Alt, Executive Director, Environment America. &nbsp;&ldquo;We can have healthier, more vibrant communities&nbsp;today&nbsp;and a livable future for our kids. &nbsp;In order to do that, we need to transform how we produce and consume energy. &nbsp;That starts with a commitment to a rapid shift 100 percent clean, renewable energy. The 100 by 50 bill represents the kind of commitment we need. The good news is that 100 percent renewable energy is 100 percent possible. Clean energy is on the rise, its costs are declining. As more people recognize environmental and economic benefits, it&rsquo;s becoming the go-to energy option for businesses, governments and institutions across the country.<\/p>\n<p>No ser\u00e1 f\u00e1cil. Los intereses energ\u00e9ticos vigentes, como la industria del petr\u00f3leo, el gas y el carb\u00f3n, y sus aliados, est\u00e1n trabajando arduamente para detener el progreso. Pero no tenemos opci\u00f3n. Cada d\u00eda se vuelve m\u00e1s clara la urgencia de nuestros desaf\u00edos ambientales. Es por eso que estamos listos para arremangarnos y trabajar para que Estados Unidos deje los combustibles f\u00f3siles hacia un futuro impulsado enteramente con energ\u00eda limpia y renovable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Merkley-Sanders bill brings to a national level the work we&#8217;ve done in New York to champion climate legislation that prioritizes the needs of environmental justice communities and supports a just transition away from the fossil fuel extraction economy towards the regenerative energy economy,&rdquo; said Elizabeth Yeampierre, Executive Director of UPROSE and leader with the NY Renews coalition. &ldquo;The standard that this federal bill sets should compel state leaders to rise to the challenge of pushing equally ambitious climate agendas. We can start in New York, where Governor Cuomo is in the unique position to take a bold stance on climate by supporting the Climate and Community Protection Act, from which the Merkley-Sanders bill has drawn much inspiration. It is imperative that policy makers on the state and federal levels follow the lead of communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis &#8212; low-income communities of color &#8212; and put justice at the core of their agenda.&rdquo; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Climate change hurts us all, but it especially hurts low income communities and people of color. I know this from personal experience &#8212; my zipcode has some of the highest rates of pollution in the country,&rdquo; said Vien Truong, director of Green For All, a climate justice advocacy group. &ldquo;For too long, people of color and low-income communities have paid the ultimate price for pollution, with our money and with our lives. Green For All applauds Sens. Merkley and Sanders, and those who stand with them, for delivering a bill with an array of innovative solutions that address this longstanding environmental injustice and puts communities on the frontlines of pollution first.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;As registered nurses, we see firsthand the negative health consequences of pollution created by fossil fuels, and deal with the sickness and death that results from climate injustice,&rdquo; said Jean Ross, RN, Co-President of National Nurses United. &ldquo;We have a duty to advocate for our patients, and we must act now to slow climate change and end the environmental pollution that is killing our patients, our communities and our planet. We commend Senators Merkley and Sanders for their leadership in sponsoring this bill. It is critical that Congress take action immediately to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Mustafa Ali, Senior Vice President for the Hip Hop Caucus said, &ldquo;The &ldquo;100 by &rsquo;50 Act&rdquo; begins to lay the foundation for moving our most vulnerable communities from, &ldquo;Surviving to Thriving&rdquo;. As we move to 100% fossil free energy, we have the opportunity to decrease the disproportionate public health impacts in communities facing environmental injustices from pollution.&nbsp; As we move to 100% clean and renewable energy by 2050 we have the opportunity to strengthen communities and increase economic opportunities, through worker training programs and small business development that is community driven. This act gives our country an opportunity to embrace a just transition, honor the innovation and hard work that exists in communities that are often overlooked and forgotten, and revitalize Communities of color, low income communities and Indigenous populations. The &ldquo;100 by &rsquo;50 Act&rdquo; provides an opportunity for everyday folks to play a role in mapping a new direction for our country, that is just, equitable and provides a brighter future for all.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Senator Merkley is proposing the road we must travel to combat the climate challenge. At last there is a legislative path to survival that we can fight to enact and make progress one year at a time,&rdquo; said David Freeman, former Chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority.<\/p>\n<p>La Ley 100 para el 50 tiene siete componentes centrales que impulsan la transici\u00f3n completa hacia 100 para el 50:<\/p>\n<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Ecologizar la red<\/i>\u2014Eliminar progresivamente la electricidad procedente de combustibles f\u00f3siles para 2050 y sustituirla por energ\u00eda limpia y renovable, mediante una eliminaci\u00f3n progresiva obligatoria de los combustibles f\u00f3siles e importantes inversiones en energ\u00eda limpia y renovable, almacenamiento e infraestructura de red para garantizar la fiabilidad y la asequibilidad.<\/p>\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Electrificando la econom\u00eda energ\u00e9tica\u2014<\/i>Electrificar la mayor parte de nuestros sistemas de transporte y calefacci\u00f3n con energ\u00eda procedente de la red el\u00e9ctrica limpia, a trav\u00e9s de una norma nacional para veh\u00edculos con cero emisiones, importantes inversiones en veh\u00edculos con cero emisiones y sistemas de calefacci\u00f3n con cero emisiones, as\u00ed como una autoridad que imponga impuestos al carbono para la aviaci\u00f3n comercial, mar\u00edtima y carril.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Energ\u00eda limpia y renovable para todos\u2014<\/i>Garantizar que las comunidades de bajos ingresos y desfavorecidas compartan los beneficios de una transici\u00f3n a 100 para el 50, a trav\u00e9s de subvenciones para hacer que la energ\u00eda limpia, la eficiencia energ\u00e9tica y el transporte p\u00fablico sean asequibles y accesibles, y para proporcionar capacitaci\u00f3n laboral en el sector de energ\u00eda limpia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Transici\u00f3n justa para los trabajadores\u2014<\/i>Provide a just transition for the people who work in&nbsp;today&rsquo;s fossil fuel economy to find good jobs in growth industries of the future, and get fair benefits between jobs or in retirement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Poner fin a las nuevas inversiones en combustibles f\u00f3siles<\/i>\u2014Dejar de aprobar importantes proyectos de combustibles f\u00f3siles como el oleoducto Keystone XL y el oleoducto Dakota Access, y poner fin a los subsidios a los combustibles f\u00f3siles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Garantizar la competitividad estadounidense\u2014<\/i>Asegurarse de que los productos estadounidenses con un uso intensivo de energ\u00eda mantengan la igualdad de condiciones con los productos importados de otros pa\u00edses imponiendo un arancel al carbono para los productos importados con un uso intensivo de carbono.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Movilizaci\u00f3n de recursos estadounidenses<\/i>\u2014Crear una nueva fuente importante de financiaci\u00f3n para garantizar una transici\u00f3n r\u00e1pida y fluida hacia 100 para el 50 mediante la subasta de Bonos Clim\u00e1ticos e invirtiendo los fondos en los nuevos programas creados por la Ley 100 para el 50.

Elaborado en consulta con organizaciones locales e individuos en la primera l\u00ednea de la lucha clim\u00e1tica, el proyecto de ley 100% para 2050 es un poderoso ejemplo de c\u00f3mo la energ\u00eda pol\u00edtica, la energ\u00eda limpia y la energ\u00eda humana se unen para cambiar lo que es posible\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>Heather McGhee, presidenta de Demos: &nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemos aplaude a los senadores Merkley y Sanders por presentar una visi\u00f3n audaz y necesaria para lograr la energ\u00eda renovable 100% con un plan que crear\u00e1 empleos y generar\u00e1 riqueza, abordando los desaf\u00edos gemelos de la desigualdad y el cambio clim\u00e1tico. Los senadores Merkley y Sanders tienen raz\u00f3n al enfatizar que la equidad es el n\u00facleo de la soluci\u00f3n, al exigir, entre otras cosas, que al menos el 40 por ciento de los ingresos federales invertidos se destine a \u00e1reas de bajos ingresos y especialmente a comunidades de color, que han soportado la peor parte de la crisis. contaminaci\u00f3n por combustibles f\u00f3siles y son los m\u00e1s expuestos a los impactos devastadores del cambio clim\u00e1tico en su curso actual.
