DearMajorityLeaderSchumer,SpeakerPelosi,ChairmanManchin,andChairmanPallone,

On behalf of our millions of members and activists nationwide, we, the undersigned 692

organizations—including climate, environmental and energy justice, democracy, faith, Indigenous, and

racial justice groups—urge you to pass a Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) in the infrastructure

package and reject gas and other false climate solutions to address the climate emergency.

As Congress prepares to pass a historic infrastructure package and President Biden has globally

pledged to slash carbon emissions by 50% below 2005 levels by 2030, we should look to the 28 states,Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico that have passed Renewable Electricity Standards (also known as

renewable portfolio standards), as opposed to only seven states with Clean Electricity Standards (CES).1

The bold leadership demonstrated in RES-leading states like Hawaii, Vermont, and Washington, D.C.provide a roadmap to building a new renewable energy future. Funding this transition must start with

shifting all fossil fuel subsidies to mass renewable energy deployment.

Renewable energy sources are sources that naturally replenish and are most often defined as solar,

wind, and geothermal power. In contrast, so-called “clean” energy standards generally encompass these

renewable sources but also include other technologies, like gas with or without carbon capture and

sequestration, biomass, and nuclear, which are significant sources of pollution and carry a host of health

and safety risks. In order to avoid perpetuating the deep racial, social, and ecological injustices of our

current fossil-fueled energy system, Congress should ensure that any federal energy standard does not

include these dirty energy sources.

Specifically, we write to express our concern that recent Clean Electricity Standard (CES)

legislation,includingthe CLEAN Future Act (H.R.1512),embed these injustices because they include gas

and false solutions.2 The inclusionof gas and carbon capture and storage as qualifying energies inany CES

undermines efforts to end the fossil fuel era and halt the devastating pollution disproportionatelyexperienced by Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other communities of color in this country. Even a partial

credit for fossil fuel resources that attempts to factor in lifecycle emissions runs the risk of subsidizing

environmental harm for years to come.3 Allowing dirty energy to be bundled with clean energy under afederal energy standard would prolong the existence of sacrifice zones around dirty energy investments and

delay the transition to a system of 100 percent truly clean, renewable energy.

Instead, we urge Congress to enact a Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) that champions a just

energy future and squarely rejects fossil fuels and other false solutions embodied in a CES. Specifically:

� The RES should achieve a 100% renewable energy portfolio by 2030 for the U.S.

electrical grid, consistentwith climate science and global equity, with at least a 25%carve-out for distributed renewable energy resources and storage. Shifting the U.S.

grid to zero emissions by 2030 is supported by leading climate scientists4 and consistent

with the domestic carbonreductionsto meet the U.S.’s historicalclimate debt and equitablefair share to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, without carbon market

mechanisms. Requiring an ambitious carve-out for rooftop and community solar andstorage, and other distributed energy resources as part of the RES brings substantial

benefits for energy democracy, electricity affordability, climate resilience, and localeconomic recovery -- and should be deployed first in communities that have

disproportionately experienced the energy violence of a fossil-fueled, centralized utilitysystem.

� The RES’s definition of qualifying energy should include proven renewable energy

technologies like solar and wind and exclude gas, carbon capture and storage,

biomass, nuclear, and other false solutions. The RES should include proven renewable

technologies including, but not limited to ecologically-sound solar, wind, and geothermal.

The definition must exclude all fossil fuels and false solutions, including but not limited

waste incineration and other combustion-based technologies; bioenergy includingbiomass,

biofuels,factory farm gas, landfill gas, andwood pellets; new nuclear; and new,large-scale

and ecosystem-altering hydropower, and all market-based accounting systems like offsets.

Energy efficiency and demand-side management technologies must also be paired with

renewable energies to vastly reduce energy consumption.

� The RES must be paired with strong regulations and programs that advanceenvironmental, social, racial, and ecological justice and guarantee 50% of

investments in environmental justice communities and support for impacted workercommunities. These include, but are not limited to: (1) programs and incentives to

prioritize distributed energy resources and energy efficiency in low-wealth communitiesand disaster-prone areas first, supporting community-owned energy programs; (2)

programs that halt energy burden disparities; (3) aggressive regulations that requirereductions of local air pollutionemissions; (4)programs that ensure local job creationand

highroad labor standards throughout the renewableenergy supplychain; (5)assurance that

environmental and democratic assessment processes, including the NationalEnvironmental Policy Act, are implemented and not weakened; and (6) regulations

ensuring that any industrial-scale renewable energy projects must be properly sited,buildingfirst on degraded lands and avoiding and mitigatingall wildlife impacts.

We respectfullyurge youto enact a RES to guaranteethat monumentalinvestmentsinour energy

system are built on a solid and just foundation.As we lookto combat the climate emergency,it is crucial

that we invest insolutions that support a just energy future.5

Sincerely,

[Signatoriesbeginonnextpage.]
