Support Community Energy in Pennsylvania
As Evangelicals committed to defending the life and health of every child, we support community energy that will secure clean, affordable energy that any and all Pennsylvanians can access. With Community Energy, families who are renters or whose homes are shaded by trees could finally benefit from solar. The bill would also allow lower and middle-income families to choose clean energy and save money on their energy bills.
Community energy would benefit all ratepayers by supplying extra energy to the grid during peak demand on hot days when prices are highest, safeguarding against price spikes and blackouts and lowering the overall energy burden of families across the commonwealth. Join us in telling the General Assembly it’s time to advance community solar in Pennsylvania by passing Community Energy!
Keep Pennsylvania an Energy Leader
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and other federal programs for renewable energy and energy storage have boosted economic activity and identified targeted investment zones, which include much of Pennsylvania. However, these opportunities can and will be lost to neighboring states with more competitive renewable energy goals unless Pennsylvania updates its Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard (AEPS) through the passage of the Pennsylvania Reliable Energy Sustainability Standard (PRESS).
Join us in calling on the Pennsylvania Legislature to defend our kids by prioritizing positive solutions to cut pollution. Urge these decision-makers to vote yes for PRESS in Pennsylvania today!
Speak Out for Cap-and-Invest in Pennsylvania
Climate-fueled extreme weather events, polluted air, and unstable energy prices are all sobering reminders that we must do more to limit carbon pollution and create a safer, cleaner world for our children and communities. A cap-and-invest program is an effective way to lower harmful emissions while also creating family-sustaining careers and delivering affordable clean energy. Such a program would also bring hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue to Pennsylvania that could directly benefit low wealth and middle class families overexposed to and overburdened by pollution. Join us in speaking out and supporting a cap-and-invest program in Pennsylvania! Send your message to your state policy makers and Governor Shapiro today.
