Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has announced goals to combat climate change, and they’re ambitious. She pledges to install 500 million solar panels by 2021, if voted president. Her campaign team said these goals would lead to a 700% increase in the current solar capacity. She also says she wants America to generate enough clean renewable energy to power every home within 10 years of taking office. The two goals were unveiled in a video posted to Clinton’s campaign website, and she says they are part of a more comprehensive agenda on climate change that we will learn about in the next few months.
