Don’t let Florida’s decision to gut clean energy and energy efficiency stand!
Florida Public Service Commission: Reverse decision to gut Florida energy efficiency and solar programs!
Why is this important?
At a time when impacts of climate change and the clean energy economy are both growing, Florida just voted to….gut energy efficiency goals and terminate a solar program!
The backward decision by the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC), the agency charged with regulating utilities, was done at the behest of big, fossil-fuel dependent utilities like Duke Energy that succeeded in pressuring the PSC to do its bidding.
This decision sets up our kids to live with dirty power plants that pollute our air and climate many decades in the future. Florida is importing pollution, and exporting dollars. This despite the fact that the Sunshine State has enough solar power potential to meet all of the state’s energy needs many times over.
As Florida confronts climate impacts like sea level rise and extreme storms, we need to support every pathway to cut carbon pollution--not create more of it. That’s why we’re demanding that the Public Service Commission reconsider and reverse its vote at one of its first meetings in 2015.
If enough ratepayers tell the Public Service Commission that supporting clean, healthy, homegrown energy and energy efficiency is more important than lining the pockets of utilities and fossil fuel corporations, they will have to listen.
Please join me in telling the Florida Public Service Commission to restore energy efficiency and solar programs!
Thank you for taking action.
