Support investments in Energy Efficiency for Nevada!

Dear Senator Atkinson and Assemblywoman Kirkpatrick,

I urge you to support energy efficiency policies that will allow Nevada to achieve a 2% decrease in energy consumption per year.

Nevadans overwhelmingly support energy efficiency programs because they invest in our energy infrastructure, create jobs for Nevadans, and stabilize rates in our state. Investing in energy efficiency is investing in Nevada!

Sincerely,

Why is this important?

Your petition will be sent to the Chair and Vice Chair of the Legislative Committee on Energy, which is made up of six state legislators who are working on energy issues before the next legislative session. Your voice shows that there is community support for making energy efficiency a priority.

Energy efficiency plays an important role in growing our clean energy economy by bringing our energy infrastructure into the 21st century.

Energy efficiency measures such as installing lower wattage light bulbs, adding insulation, and sealing air ducts in buildings will decrease Nevada’s overall energy demand, while reducing our bills and creating jobs here in Nevada.

Additionally, new energy efficiency programs using smart technologies empower consumers to take control of their energy on a daily basis - not just a monthly basis.

Not only does energy efficiency help decrease our rates, it also decreases our need for new future power plants, saving consumers more money in the future.
