***** CALL TO ACTION ***** Have you all heard about the recent Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) ruling that supports the states electric utilities by lowering conservation goals by 90% and eliminating solar incentives? It is important that we let the PSC know we disagree with these changes. Energy conservation goals have been in effect for over 30 years. We need these conservation goals, in order to REDUCE our energy use .. without them, energy use increases. We need CLEAN alternative energy sources, not more fossil fuel plants belching out greenhouse gases and other toxins. orlandosentinel/opinion/os-energy-conservation-gutted-beth-kassab-20141205-column.html PLEASE PLEASE ...take a few minutes to send PSC Chairman Art Graham an email expressing your concern. Here is a sample email ... please make changes to reflect your personal feelings so they arent all the same. THANK YOU .. THANK YOU. Email: [email protected] Dear Chairman Graham, I am in strong disagreement with the recent ruling of the Florida Public Service Commission that will allow the state’s investor owned utilities to reduce their energy conservation goals by 90% and to remove the solar energy incentives. This now encourages more electric use so that the utilities have justification to build more fossil fuel generation plants. These plants will require rate increases to fund. In addition, there is a significant environmental impact of using more fossil fuel produced electricity. These fuel sources increase greenhouse gases and other toxic by-products. Wouldnt it be better to invest in job creating clean energy technologies that will grow Florida’s economy while saving customer’s money? In this day and age of climate change awareness, it seems very shortsighted & irresponsible to reduce conservation goals by 90% and eliminate solar energy incentives. As a member of the public that you serve, and based on the goals you have established for your commission, I am calling for you to retain both the solar energy incentives and the conservation goals that were in place on 11/1/14. Thank you, YOUR NAME HERE *Feel free to edit this ^^^ to your liking. BUT PLEASE send an email ASAP on this matter. THANK YOU for caring about our planet. Heres to incentives to get folks to go and stay greener.
