The Renewable Energy 401(k): Freedom to Choose Campaign

 “With Colorado leading the way,
soon every American with a 401(k) plan will have the freedom
to invest in Renewable Energy” 

• The Freedom to Choose Campaign is in dialogue with the Colorado Financial Services and Human Resources sectors to encourage the addition of a renewable energy fund to every 401(k) plan in the state
  
  This will provide 500,000 Coloradans the freedom to invest in clean energy production, create thousands of new Colorado jobs, lower the cost of energy and help ensure a healthy and prosperous future for Colorado’s agricultural
  community, ski industry and our families
  
  
• Next federal legislation will significantly increase clean energy production by allowing 50 million Americans the opportunity to invest in renewable energy
  
  The American Renewable Energy: Freedom to Choose Act will:
  
  
• Create a remarkable $100 Billion in new Renewable Energy investment
  – that’s a 5 times increase over the 2007 total of just $19 billion
  
  
• Allow all of America’s newly generated electricity, the 20,000 MW added to the grid each year, to be generated from renewable sources by 2014
  
  
• Create 500,000 new clean energy jobs in Wind, Solar and Geothermal over the next 3 years 
  
• 20,000 of these new Renewable Energy jobs will be in Colorado, a world leader in Renewable Energy design, manufacturing and clean energy production/span>
