Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton promised on Sunday to push for a dramatic increase in renewable power production.

Clintonalso pledged to have more than half a billion solar panels installed nationwide within four years of taking office.

Her campaign said the goals would lead to a 700 percent increase in the nation’s installed solar capacity from current levels, and eventually could generate at least one third of all electricity from renewable sources.

Clinton has promised to make the issue of climate change a key pillar of her campaign platform.

Clinton’s plans also call for extending federal clean energy tax incentives and making them more cost effective both for taxpayers and clean energy producers, her campaign said.
