Clean Energy Bill – Cap and Trade – RPS Standards by admin

From votesolar.org:

“Friends,

In a matter of weeks, Congress will debate the largest, most ambitious clean energy bill our country has ever seen.  Leadership recently announced that they plan to combine three key initiatives into one colossal bill: global warming policy (cap and trade), national requirements for utilities to produce a percentage of their power from renewables (Renewable Portfolio Standard), and updates to our antiquated transmission system so we can take full advantage of all that renewable energy. 

All of this before summer break. Wowza.

Our task is twofold.  First, to make sure that the bill contains appropriate provisions to bring solar to scale.  Second, to pass the bill.

We need your help. 

Write your Representatives and Senators to request that they fly their solar flag proudly by signing onto the “solar support” letters circulating in Congress. You can read the House letter here, and the Senate letter here.

All joking aside, this is a once in a decade opportunity and so far there are only 15 members of the House and 2 Senators on the letters. We have A LOT of education to do up in Capitol Hill, and we hope you will help us out. 

Thank you for joining the solar revolution.

Onwards,

Annie + Vote Solar Team”
