Hey People! The CT Legislature Needs to Hear from You on Solar Energy. Today!

Email Your Support for Solar Energy or Speak at Tues. 2/27 Hearing

Do you care about the environment and wish you could do more to help it?  You can!  Our state legislators need to hear that you want Connecticut to get more of our energy from solar power. They can't read your mind! If they don't hear from us, it looks like we don't care.  Send an email in support of getting more solar power in Connecticut.  

From the CT League of Conservation Voters:

TOMORROW, Tuesday, February 27th at 10:00 AM, the General Assembly’s Energy & Technology Committee is holding a public hearing devoted entirely to Solar Energy.  The Committee needs to hear from YOU! The hearing will take place in Room 1A at the state Legislative Office building. You can also watch it on Youtube Live.  

The three solar bills on the AGENDA include:

• HB 5052, An Act Supporting Solar Energy in Schools
• HB 5231, An Act Concerning Revisions to the State’s Nonresidential Renewable Energy Program and Shared Clean Energy Facility Program
• HB 5232, An Act Concerning Solar Projects Throughout the State.

Here are two backgrounders that you can draw from for your own testimony: 

• MORE SOLAR SOONER IN CT
• COMMUNITY SOLAR
