Rock for Renewables

Building a movement for renewable energy through the power of music

Rock for Renewables is a not-for profit campaign calling for the transition to 100% renewable energy. In order to address the climate crisis and protect our natural resources we need to get off fossil fuels and onto clean and safe renewable energy as quickly as possible. Through the power of the music community we are building a movement and engaging venues, artists and music fans in the transition to renewables.

The Solutions

We are advocating for the following solutions on tour and online with the campaigns and organizations we support.

A RENEWABLE POWERED GRID

We are upgrading to a more resilient 21st century electricity grid that is powered by 100% renewable energy like wind & solar.

RENEWABLE HEATING & Cooling

We are shifting our homes and buildings onto air source and ground source (geothermal) heat pumps for heating & cooling free of fossil fuels.

Electric & induction Stoves

We are switching off gas and onto electric and induction stove cooking for better respiratory health and less planet warming emissions.

Carbon-Free Transportation

We are getting off combustion engine vehicles and transitioning to electric cars, trains, buses, and other carbon-free alternatives including more walkable and bikeable communities.

Rock for Renewables On Tour

Rock for Renewables is promoting the transition off fossil fuels and onto renewable energy at music events in 2022 and 2023. The majority of our climate warming greenhouse gas emissions come from burning fossil fuels for transportation, electricity as well as heating and cooling our homes and buildings.

Transitioning our homes, buildings and transportation from gas to electric and powering the electricity grid with 100% renewables is a critical step to tackling the climate crisis and protecting public health. Information and action steps from our participating organizations will empower us with an understanding of what the solutions are and give us the tools to make the switch to clean energy at home and on the road.
