To: The North Carolina State Senate and Governor Roy Cooper
Protect our Renewable Energy Standard!
The NC General Assembly is proposing to freeze the only renewable energy standard in the South. The renewable energy standard (REPS) is the foundation for our expanding renewable energy industries, and a big reason why North Carolina ranks fourth nationally in terms of solar power. Please protect REPS and oppose any efforts to eliminate or freeze our renewable energy standard.
Why is this important?
The renewable energy standard (REPS) has been integral in growing North Carolina's renewable energy industries, but we still depend on dirty fuels like coal to generate 99% of the state's energy. If we want the clean air, energy security, and sustainable economic growth that renewable energy can offer, REPS must be protected.
H332 would freeze REPS and halt all growth in the state's renewable energy sector before it is able to provide the full range of its environmental, economic, and social benefits.
Tell our legislators to defeat H332 because we want renewable energy to keep growing in North Carolina.
