中西部

There’s an energy revolution in the 中西部—and UCS expertise is critical to the fight.

There’s an energy revolution in the 中西部—and UCS expertise is critical to the fight.

The 中西部 sits at an important crossroads—one that will determine not only its own future, but the future of the United States.

多年来, the region relied on coal-fired power plants, tolerating the toxic air and water pollution in exchange for cheap electricity.

但经济形势已经改变. 更新able energy technologies are now competing with fossil fuels, and the 中西部 is home to some of the best renewable energy resources in the world. As a result, renewable energy has become the region’s largest source of new energy.

From our regional office in Chicago, the Union of Concerned Scientists has long fought for progressive clean energy policy in the 中西部. We’ve worked with partners from St. 圣保罗到圣保罗. 路易, fended off attacks from coal and gas lobbyists, 并帮助他们通过, 实现, and protect dozens of state-level policies in support of clean and equitable power.
