From the League of Women Voters of CT:
With fewer than 20 days left to act, our Connecticut legislature has the opportunity to move us in the right direction by passing
- S.B. 10 An Act Concerning Climate Change Mitigation
- S.B. 4 An Act Concerning The Connecticut Clean Air Act
Cleaner air improves human health, protects the environment, and contributes to the reversal of climate change. We need clean air and clean electricity generation in Connecticut. Neighboring states are far ahead in making the transition to electric vehicles and decarbonizing the electric grid.
Email or call Senate Leadership (Senators Looney and Duff) and ask them to bring S.B. 10 and S.B. 4 to a vote. Increase your impact by including your own legislators. (Find them here.)

Subject: Support SB 10 and SB 4
Dear Senators Looney and Duff:
I am writing to urge you to bring S.B. 10 An Act Concerning Climate Change Mitigation to the floor for a vote. SB 10 requires the state to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from generation of electricity. This bill would codify the goal of decarbonizing the electric grid by 2040.
Also we ask for your support for S.B. 4 An Act Concerning the Connecticut Clean Air Act. The transportation sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse emissions in the state. This bill would reduce carbon emission by expanding public and private use of electric vehicles in Connecticut to protect human health, especially our young people, and the environment. Together, both bills would make significant advances in addressing climate impacts in Connecticut.
Thank you,
