  • Government program to put power lines underground
    One of the principal reasons for power outages during recent natural disasters was fallen powerlines, felled by wind, tree branches, and snow. Power outages and trimming trees should no longer be part of business as usual for power companies. Let's put in place a tax incentive plan that puts people to work exclusively on putting those lines underground.

  • solar power
    Help make Solar Power affordable for the middle class person. Our family tried to switch to solar but it would have cost us $40,000 to install. We need to find a way to do this without the cost being so high.

  • Is PECO Wind a sham?
    Is PECO Wind a sham? It sure seems like it. While the PECO wind website talks about giving customers “an opportunity to support renewable wind energy,” their lobbyists in Congress are pushing to kill legislation that will promote wind energy in Pennsylvania and nationwide. [1] [2] And sadly, PECO isn't alone in trying to submarine America’s wind energy programs — other powerful energy companies like PPL, First Energy and GenOn have all joined them in trying to kill wind energy and continue our reliance on dirty energy. The program is the Wind Power Tax Credit, and it is critical to expand America’s wind power industry. Unfortunately due to the political gridlock in Washington D.C., this program is set to expire in just over a month. It’s that simple. If you’re like many, you support wind power because you don’t want to rely on dirty coal-fired power plants and their air pollution. Or, you’re worried about global warming fueling future super storms like Sandy. Or maybe, you just believe that wind power is the future and want to be part of building a clean energy economy. Unfortunately, dirty energy companies are trying to exploit America’s support for wind power — while trying to get rid of wind power at the same time. Tell your Senators and member of Congress to stand up to the dirty energy companies like PECO and renew the wind energy tax credit.

  • Help Pennsylvanians investigate the PA DEP and protect our drinking water
    From human illness to sick, sterile, or dying livestock, Pennsylvanians are being affected by contaminated drinking water in areas where fracking is occurring. With the PA DEP falsifying water reports, millions of Americans-- through our water and our food supply-- are being endangered.

  • Henderson's Friends of Small Windmills
    The soon to be revised Small Windmill Zoning Ordinance should be minimal and simplified to enable the use of privately owned small wind systems without limitation on location or height and to encourage the increase of individual prosperity, independence and self-sufficiency by the suitable use of one's private property. 1. Small windmill systems for private owners have been proven effective to reduce dependence upon commercial electricity. 2. Small windmill systems that have been approved by NYSERDA should be allowed anywhere in Town as long as they can be placed their height away from the public. Therefore the Zoning Ordinance for Privately Owned Small Windmills should be simple, efficient, inclusive and permissive as a right of land-ownership. This Petition is approved by Gregory and Dawn Scott, Harvey and Susan Grimshaw, Marty Burdick and Carol Shattuck, Ron and Ora Ditch, David and Dorothy Worthington, Howard and Dona Barney, Michael Fellows, Kim and Robert Bisig and many other friends of small wind energy.

  • Enact a Carbon Tax
    The fossil fuel industry is the source of mercury, ozone and soot pollution and is responsible for acidifying oceans and a warming planet. Leading scientists are seriously concerned that the habitability of our world is at stake. The fossil fuel industy is the only industry that is able to pollute for free. While regulations and targeted subsidies/penalities can somewhat address carbon pollution, these methods are too inefficient to deal with the growing risks. A carbon tax is the most efficient market-based mechanism to reduce fossil fuel pollution by ensuring that the price of carbon pollution is reflected in all goods and services.
