1) Take Action: Critical Window for Clean Energy |

2) Take Action: Ask FERC to Stand Up for Clean Energy The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), an agency within the federal government, has an enormous impact on whether our country moves beyond dirty coal over the next couple years and invests in clean energy. The regional organizations under FERC's authority could be the number one obstacle to getting off coal. Or FERC could be our champion, requiring those organizations to take into account efficiency and clean energy goals when making their electric transmission plans. It's up to us. Send a quick message to FERC and ask them to stand up for clean energy!. |
