– “The actor and environmentalist is backing Stanford Professor Mark Jacobson in his campaign to ditch fossil fuels and go 100 percent renewable by 2050 in every state in the U.S”
– Mark Ruffalo was a guest on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night. The interview kicked off promoting his latest movie, Infinitely Polar Bear. After a funny debate about a hypothetical battle between Hulk and Superman, Ruffalo took the opportunity to discuss some other things that are on his mind.
Ruffalo, who was been an environmental champion for years, helped to ban fracking in New York state and is a huge advocate of renewable energy. So, he took some time on The Daily Show to talk about his organizations Water Defense and The Solutions Project, and how he is backing Stanford Professor Mark Jacobson in his campaign to ditch fossil fuels and go 100 percent renewable by 2050 in every state in the U.S. The 50-state plan is posted on The Solutions Project website.

The Solutions Project accelerates the transition to 100% clean, renewable energy for all people and purposes. To achieve this mission, we engage the public, celebrate and convene leaders, and advance partnerships and policies that make strides on the road to 100%. We implement this integrated model at the state level. To maintain our national reach, we develop inspired content, amplify stories and media, and create opportunities to celebrate and activate leadership across the country.
Engage
We attract people from all walks of life and sectors of society to participate in the transition to 100%.
Through media, storytelling and events, you can see that 100% is possible, happening and for us all. You can experience the benefits, join a growing community, and take action today as part of the 100% campaign.
Celebrate
A 100% transition is happening in communities, companies and regions across the country because innovators, early adopters and those simply working to make life better are stepping up to give their 100%.
We honor those leaders with media spotlights, awards and support to increase their success. You can cheer on others or feel the sun shine on you by checking out our 100% leaders and becoming one yourself. Just imagine when all of us give 100%.
Advance
Our journeys to 100% have just begun. While each day more households, companies, and cities step forward, we have a lot of ground to cover in a short period of time. Policy change and stronger relationships at the state-level are key to ensuring all people can access the jobs, household budget, and health benefits of clean energy and efficiency.
We work to connect business, community, and government in target states like NY, CA and IA in support of policies that raise the bar, increase the pace and scale of change, and ensure all people benefit from healthy, affordable and stable energy.
