It seems harmless enough—flick a switch and you've instantly got light and power. But the production of electricity causes more pollution than any other industry on the planet. It's responsible for smog, acid rain, mercury poisoning in our lakes and rivers, and global warming. That's why Fresh Energy aggressively promotes the use of clean, renewable electricity sources like wind, sun, and plant matter. They're not only better for people and the environment, they're also a better financial investment because the fuel is free and carries no threat of cleanup costs.

• Accelerating the Clean Energy Industry - Fresh Energy fosters diverse new energy technologies while minimizing adverse impacts by partnering with private firms, community corporations, and national and local innovators.
• Pushing for Zero Emissions - Fresh Energy is blocking the expansion or development of coal-fired plants unless they produce zero emissions.
• Fostering District Heating & Cooling Systems - We work to promote systems that allow heating and cooling from a centralized source to be distributed to multiple buildings.
