From the Union of Concerned Scientists (http://www.ucsusa.org):
We pay our monthly utility bill and expect the lights to come on when we flip the switch. But behind the utilities, there’s another system made up of regional grid operators, which coordinate the transmission of electricity from generators to local utilities who then distribute the power directly to you.
Unfortunately, your energy grid operator, PJM Interconnection, has been advocating for a rule that would undermine state clean energy policies, prop up fossil fuels, and make clean energy costlier for consumers like you.
It’s up to state attorneys general to defend state laws, including renewable energy standards and other clean energy policies, from attempts to undermine them like this. Go to https://secure.ucsusa.org/onlineactions/QQ5D1QvJnUOt_R3vOz6Brg2 to call on Attorney General Josh Shapiro to stand up against PJM’s anti-clean energy rule and protect the health and clean energy future of PA.
PJM’s proposed a rule that would hinder PA’s progress toward reducing global warming emissions by forcing renewable energy sources to be priced artificially high. If federal energy regulators vote in favor of this rule, there will be serious consequences for moving toward a clean energy future.
Activists like you have been crucial in passing state-level clean energy policy when the federal government has stalled on climate action. We need you more than ever to keep the pressure going as regulators and grid operators attempt to thwart the clean energy future we’ve been advocating for.
We can’t allow PJM to put the fossil fuel industry’s interests ahead of consumers and our health—write your state attorney general today.
