From PennEnvironment (http://www.pennenvironment.org):
A fundamental solar energy policy is under attack.
A special interest group just challenged an important energy policy called net metering, a rule that compensates solar owners for the excess energy that they contribute back to the grid and encourages more people to go solar.
We should be doing everything we can to encourage businesses and homeowners to tap into the clean, renewable power of the sun, not undercutting the rights of solar owners.
We’re not letting this special interest group take down a major renewable energy policy. Join us by voicing your support of solar rights today at https://pennenvironment.webaction.org/p/dia/action4/common/public/?action_KEY=38611.
A special interest group called the New England Ratepayers Association (NERA) just filed a petition that would bar all states from using net metering. This action would take away incentives for people across the country who may otherwise tap into the clean, renewable power of the sun.1
Homeowners and local businesses with solar panels deserve to be fairly compensated for the excess clean energy they contribute back to the grid.
That’s why we’re submitting public comments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to urge it to protect solar rights and reject NERA’s petition.
We have the technology to turn the sunlight warming our rooftops into clean, sustainable and virtually limitless energy that doesn’t pollute our air or dirty our water, and we should be doing everything we can to encourage homeowners to tap into that incredible power.
Every rooftop without a solar panel is a missed opportunity to leave dirty, dangerous energy sources like fossil fuels behind.
Join us in telling decision-makers to support solar rights in the states.
