What is the relation of clean energy to life? How is the quality of air in your community? How is the quality of water in your community? Do you have to buy water from the supermarket or grocery? Do you have to go to hospital or clinic for your respiratory illness? With lesser pollution, the better the health impact to the communities where the energy source is.
From Texas Impact Friends:
HB 3826, which would create the Texas Energy Efficiency Council, was reported favorably from House State Affairs. Its companion, SB 2717 was passed out of committee last week and is now on the Senate calendar. Now is a great time to let both your House and Senate members know you support SB 2717 and want Texas to use the energy it generates more wisely.
Energy bills that recently passed in the full Senate have been referred to to the House State Affairs Committee, for the attention of the people who cares for renewables. These bills are not supporting renewables. The House State Affairs Committee can be contacted to express your opinion on opposing these bills that slows down renewables:
SB 388 - Relating to the legislatures goals for electric generation capacity in this state
SB 819 - Relating to renewable energy generation facilities; authorizing fees
Both of them would severely limit the ability of the renewable energy industry to continue its growth in Texas, limiting our future generation capacity, raising energy costs for everyone, and risking rolling blackouts during peak demand.
Here is contact information for the House State Affairs Committee:
