Hillary Promises Green Energy For All.

Clinton has stiff competition when it comes to proving her anti-fossil fuel credentials against Democratic challengers. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley. Both signed a pledge earlier this year saying they would not take campaign donations from fossil fuel interests.

O’Malley has even pledged to phase out fossil fuel use by 2050 — a campaign promise he announced the same day Pope Francis released an encyclical bashing countries for using fossil fuels.

“I believe, within 35 years, our country can, and should, be 100% powered by clean energy, supported by millions of new jobs. To reach this goal we must accelerate that transition starting now,” O’Malley wrote in USA Today. “As president, on day one, I would use my executive power to declare the transition to a clean energy future the number one priority of our Federal Government.”
