To: The Colorado State House
Stop The Renewable Rollback
This campaign has ended.
The Colorado State Senate just passed SB 44 which would remove the requirement that large utilities and rural cooperatives utilize clean energy sources for power generation. The bill now heads to the Colorado House of Representatives. We urge you to vote no on this bill that threatens Colorado's clean energy future.
Why is this important?
1. SB 44 calls for a reduction in clean energy source power generation by 50 percent for large utilities and 25 percent for rural cooperatives .
2. 76 percent of Coloradans indicate that they are more likely to support candidates who promote the use of clean energy sources. The same survey found that 59 percent are less likely to vote for a candidate who votes to stop taxpayer support of wind and solar energy production.
3. According to the Pew Charitable Trust, when Ohio passes a similar law, it lost millions of dollars in investments, which led to the loss of thousands of clean energy jobs.
4. According to the Beacon Hill Institute, SB 44 would cost consumers approximately $8.6 billion between 2016 and 2025 due to the use of less efficient energy generation sources.
