This millennials-focused website tells those concerned about clean power who to vote for. Developed by Stectech Industries, this site was conceived by the Environmental Defense fund and a group of Standford students.
People between 18 and 29 years of age represent the largest segment of voters in the United States, which, as Hack the Election puts it, means they can have anything they want. The Clean Power Plan will start to restrict the amount of carbon dioxide produced by power companies, who are currently unlimited and accounts for 44% of American CO2 levels.
The site tells the climate-concerned millennials who to vote for on November 4th's midterm elections if they want to support this platform by crossmatching their IP address with an index of those supporting clean power.
