[font size=3]This week Hillary Clinton vowed that as president she will ensure America gets 33 percent of its energy from clean, renewable resources like wind and solar power by 2027. This is a bold plan. But more importantly, it is an achievable one.

Our nation has abundant clean energy resources and tapping them will generate jobs, make the air safer to breathe and tackle climate change--the greatest environmental crisis of our time. An ambitious goal like this will accelerate clean energy around the world, as costs are driven down, technology is unleashed and innovation takes hold.

I have been fighting climate change for two decades, and people often ask me how I remain hopeful in the face of extreme weather and grim forecasts. The answer is simple: I see countless solutions spreading across the nation and across the world. But we need more investment.

Clean, renewable power is one of the brightest solutions we have. By seizing this enormous opportunity, Clinton's plan will slash climate change pollution and create much needed jobs.
