Our Energy, Our Future: A Dialogue With America

Pressure is mounting for Congress to do something about climate change. And while political debates in Washington, D.C., may seem far away, the outcome of environmental legislation will have a direct impact on electric cooperatives and our members.

We, as electric co-op members and constituents, must call on elected officials to help find the answers that will solve the problem of balancing climate change goals while keeping your lights on and your electric bills affordable.

Start by asking your elected officials these questions:
~Experts say that our nation's growing electricity needs will soon go well beyond what renewables, conservation and efficiency can provide. What is your plan to make sure we have the electricity we'll need in the future?

~What are you doing to fully fund the research required to make emissions free electric plants an affordable reality?

~Balancing electricity needs and environmental goals will be difficult. How much is all this going to increase my electric bill and what will you do to make it affordable?
