Thanks to new financing models like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/2014\/06\/05\/clean-energy-finance-101\/#solar-lease\">solar leasing<\/a> programs (if you do not want to pay a large up-front cost) and <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/2015\/03\/03\/sometimes-it-takes-a-community-to-go-solar\/\">community solar<\/a> programs (if your rooftop is not suitable for solar panels or you rent your home), you don\u2019t have to be rich to get in on the clean energy revolution.<\/p>\n<p>[Tweet &#8220;How the Clean Power Plan can benefit Latino communities #ActOnClimate&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>More jobs<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Clean Power Plan will also help Latinos by creating tens of thousands of good, new jobs in the clean energy sector by 2040.\u00a0 This is part of a broader trend: In 2014, the solar industry added jobs nearly\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesolarfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TSF-National-Census-2014-Report_web.pdf\">20 times faster<\/a>\u00a0than the national average and is poised to add another 36,000 jobs in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>According to a 2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nclr.org\/images\/uploads\/publications\/brightgreen_51613.pdf\">report<\/a> by National Council of La Raza, many of the jobs in this sector are highly accessible to Latinos, and Latinos are already engaging in the growing clean energy economy in locations across the country.\u00a0 In some places, like McAllen, Texas, Latinos are overrepresented in some of the top clean economy occupations; in others, like Albuquerque, New Mexico, Latinos could benefit from higher wages by transitioning to jobs in the clean economy.\u00a0 Most \u201cgreen jobs\u201d pay higher median wages than traditional Latino occupations, and this wage advantage holds true even outside of these traditional jobs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prioritizing low-income communities<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat about the most disadvantaged communities, those who are most in need of cost savings, cleaner energy, and protections from climate change?\u00a0 The Clean Power Plan aims to prioritize the deployment of energy efficiency improvements in low-income communities through the <a href=\"http:\/\/epa.gov\/airquality\/cpp\/fs-cpp-ceip.pdf\">Clean Energy Incentive Program<\/a> (CEIP).\u00a0 By providing a mechanism to award states extra compliance credit for efficiency programs that provide energy savings to low-income communities, the CEIP is designed to help lower electricity bills and bring jobs to people in these communities.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/sites\/default\/files\/edf_laitner-mcdonnell-energy-efficiency-as-a-pollution-control-technology.pdf\">report<\/a> by Environmental Defense Fund demonstrates that savings to families could be significantly greater with more widespread deployment of energy efficiency\u2014securing a 15 percent improvement in energy efficiency by 2030 and generating annual average household savings of $157.\u00a0 Measures like the CEIP, along with strong stakeholder engagement requirements and other measures, will help ensure the Clean Power Plan benefits all Latinos \u2013 and all Americans \u2013 in transitioning to a clean energy economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Setting the record straight<br \/>\n<\/strong>Claims that the Clean Power Plan will hurt Latinos, drive up energy bills, and disadvantage low-income communities are simply false.\u00a0 Rather, these are the very claims that spread harmful misinformation to our communities and create the most serious barriers to accessing clean air, affordable energy, and good paying jobs.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, as with any ambitious challenge, our work is not done.\u00a0 States must finalize and deliver implementation plans to meet their pollution-reduction goals.\u00a0 This is where the rubber hits the road, and the states that get out of the gate quickly to achieve these goals will more swiftly capture the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>We <em>must<\/em> be engaged in this process, urging states to accelerate the transition to cleaner energy for all communities. First, we must tell our decision makers in Washington to <a href=\"https:\/\/secure2.edf.org\/site\/Advocacy?cmd=display&amp;page=UserAction&amp;id=2297\">support the Clean Power Plan<\/a>.\u00a0 Then, Latino communities must demand a place at the table and advocate for states to act now \u2013 as should everyone who wants to ensure the benefits of America\u2019s Clean Power Plan are shared by all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this month, the United States announced a major step forward in addressing air quality concerns and climate change threats to Latinos.\u00a0 I\u2019m talking about the Clean Power Plan, which establishes the first-ever national limits on carbon pollution from powerplants and places us on a path to heed Pope Francis\u2019s call to protect our planet. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40188,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8015,55725,254,53091,1,177],"tags":[68462,366,23783,50194],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-10920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-quality","category-clean-power-plan","category-energy-efficiency","category-energy-financing","category-uncategorized","category-renewable-energy","tag-community-solar","tag-green-jobs","tag-latinos","tag-net-metering"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
