Your ticket purchase will help ISEA Grow Solar Jobs in Illinois!
The US solar industry has shown tremendous growth over the past several years, currently employing more workers than oil, gas and pipeline jobs! Solar is one of the fastest growing job sectors and has tremendous potential to ensure our country’s energy security.
Unfortunately, Illinois has begun to lose some of its 3,400 clean energy jobs due to non functioning renewable energy policies! To turn this around, Illinois needs to update its the renewable portfolio standard (RPS). The bipartisan Illinois Clean Jobs Bill will fix the RPS and expand it to 35% renewable energy by 2030 (up from the current target of 25% by 2025). The bill also calls for a boost in energy efficiency. This bill has the potential to create 32,000 jobs and save consumers $1.6 billion!
ISEA will be discussing the Clean Jobs Bill at a Chicago screening of Catching the Sun. Join ISEA April 13th from 7-9pm for a documentary that follows the hope and the heartbreak of unemployed American workers seeking jobs in the solar industry. Mark Ruffalo calls it a “..must-see film. An eye-opening look at workers and entrepreneurs on the forefront of the clean energy movement that will transform, and enliven the way you see the future.” Purchase tickets here.
