Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Friends of the Earth.The short explanation of this alert was: On March 2, DC Councilmembers Mendelson (D-At Large) and Ambrose (D-Ward Six) introduced the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard of 2004 (B15-0747) – known as the RES. This bill requires that electric companies in the District sell 11 percent of their electricity derived from clean renewable sources like wind and solar energy by the year 2021. The Council’s clean energy legislation will help reduce ground level ozone, air particulates and other pollutants that can worsen asthma and other respiratory diseases in children as well as adults. By introducing this legislation for consideration, the District takes another important step towards protecting the health of children.
