Stand for Reality | Hillary Clinton

Future generations will look back and wonder, “what were we thinking?”

“How could we possibly be so irresponsible?”

I’m just a grandmother with two eyes and a brain

and I know what’s happening in the world

is going to have a big effect on my daughter

and especially on my granddaughter.

It’s hard to believe there are people running for president who still refuse to accept the

settled science of climate change. Who would rather remind us they’re not scientists

than listen to those who are.

You don’t have to be a scientist to take on this urgent challenge

that threatens us all, you just have to be willing to act.

The renewable energy industry

It created over 50,000 new jobs and drove more than 35 billion dollars in investment

last year alone.

On day one as president, I will set two ambitious national goals that will test our capacities

but that I know are within our reach.

First, I will ensure we hit a target of having more that half a billion solar panels installed

across the country by the end of my first term.

Second, we’ll set a 10-year goal of generating enough renewable energy

Over the next few months I will lay out a comprehensive agenda to meet the climate challenge

We don’t hide from change; we harness it.

We’re on the cusp of a new era. We can have more choice in the energy we consume and produce.

We can create a more open, efficient and resilient grid that connects us,

empowers us—improves our health and benefits us all.

The decisions we make in the next decade can make all of this possible
