‘…SEN<\/span>. JEFF<\/span> MERKLEY<\/span>:<\/strong> So, yesterday, in partnership with a whole bunch of environmental groups and social justice groups, I introduced 100 by 50. It\u2019s a phrase I want everyone in the country to hear multitudinous times, 100 by 50\u00e2\u20ac\u201d100 percent clean and renewable energy by the year 2050. It\u2019s a goal that we\u2019ve got to get completely off fossil fuels, no more burning in any sector of the energy economy. And it\u2019s a timeline. And to get there, we have to move urgently, passionately, quickly. Time is not on our side.’<\/p>\n
