2022 could be the year your state goes big on clean renewable energy

Nine states have committed to go 100% to date, but who will be next?

I might be a month late, but I’m excited to share my New Year’s resolution. In 2022, I’m setting out to make sure more states get on the path to 100% clean and renewable energy.

First, let me set the scene: 2022 is just getting started, and the United States is teetering on the cusp of a dramatic renewable revolution. As legislative sessions commence, policymakers in state houses across the country are crafting their priorities for the year. Meanwhile, Congress continues to debate legislation that would make historic investments in clean and renewable energy, potentially lowering the cost of rooftop solar by 30% and of an electric vehicle by up to $12,500. From where I sit, the year ahead is bursting at the seams with possibilities. 2022 could very well be a tipping point in our nation’s transition toward a cleaner, healthier future powered by renewable resources.

State renewable energy standards and goals have long been critical drivers of adoption, which has in turn driven down costs and spurred advancement thanks to economies of scale. Ever since the possibility of meeting all of our energy needs with clean and renewable resources started coming into view a few years ago, leading states and cities across the country have stepped up and set goals for 100% clean or renewable energy.

I’m not a betting woman. But, if I were, I’d put money on at least one more state stepping up to bat with a new commitment to go 100% in 2022. The question is who will it be — Massachusetts? Colorado? Maybe it will be my home state of Rhode Island, or where you live. All I know for sure is that I’m excited to see what the year brings for this movement.
