Renewable Energy Future - Photo Competition

To celebrate Earth Day, we are excited to announce the Renewable Energy Future Photo Competition to all Community Energy customers and friends.

Our company was founded on a simple but powerful idea – that the energy demands of our nation could be met with clean, fuel-free energy that’s safe for our environment.   But we still have a long way to go!  Electricity generation is responsible for more than 40% of US carbon emissions, the major greenhouse gas linked to climate change.  Across the nation and around the world we face additional problems caused by burning fossil fuels like, air pollution, public health threats, and environmental degradation, meanwhile the demand for energy only increases.  How can we solve these problems? 

Help us visualize the future of renewable energy by submitting your personal photographs that answer the question What Does a Renewable Energy Future Look Like?  You may also submit photos that express What Renewable Energy Means to You.
