Clean Energy. Solutions to Climate Change. Job Creation. Energy Security.

What if Americans could easily invest in all of the above? With Clean Energy Victory Bonds, we can!

Clean Energy Victory Bonds would allow anyone with an investment of as little as $100 to help create energy efficiency and renewable energy projects around the country.

In the past, when America has needed to mobilize public commitment and engage citizens in underwriting the costs of collective challenges, we have often turned to a simple financial solution: bonds. Like Woodrow Wilson’s Liberty Bonds and Franklin Roosevelt’s Victory Bonds, Clean Energy Victory Bonds would provide much needed financial capital for ensuring acceleration towards a clean energy economy.

Clean Energy Victory Bonds will enable millions of Americans to invest small amounts in clean energy technologies by buying bonds from the federal government. The $5 to $10 billion in proceeds from the bonds will be invested in energy efficiency and renewable energy projects around the country that will help to replace fossil fuels. The bonds will pay an annual interest rate back to the buyer, based partially on the energy savings or climate change emissions reductions generated by the investments from Clean Energy Victory Bonds.

Clean Energy Victory Bonds aren’t yet available in the US, but Green America is working with White House and Hill staffers to create CEVB legislation.
