Fulfill the promise of the Clean Energy Initiative
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011Since its passage, I-937 has:
- Generated about $7 billion in renewable energy investments in this state, especially in our struggling rural communities.
- Resulted in all-time-record efficiency savings for energy consumers.
- Reduced our reliance on fossil fuels, protecting us from pollution and volatile prices.
Please call the legislative hotline at 1-800-562-6000 and leave a message for your Senator and Representatives: Please fulfill the promise of Initiative 937, and deliver MORE clean energy jobs to our state.
The legislature will likely consider changes to I-937 during the 2012 session. The 24 organizations that make up the Washington Environmental Priorities Coalition have selected Fulfill our Clean Energy Initiative as one of their three combined priorities for the 2012 state legislative session.
Initiative 937 was selected to ensure that any changes passed by the legislature in 2012 preserve the intent of the law to increase the development of clean and renewable energy. Clean energy advocates are receptive to concerns that have been raised by stakeholders and are looking at changes that make the initiative work better for all Washingtonians. And we will be advocating provisions to the law that help increase our state’s investments in energy efficiency and new renewable resources and avoid construction of polluting power plants.
Please call the legislative hotline at 1-800-562-6000 and leave a message for your Senator and Representatives: Please fulfill the promise of Initiative 937, and deliver MORE clean energy jobs to our state.
We will need your help to ensure that any changes to I-937 are reasonable ones that reflect and advance Washington values. It’s possible that some proposals from special interests will go beyond reasonable fixes and we will need you to raise your voice to defend our clean energy future.
Can you stand up and contact your legislators now and tell them that you want them to help fulfill our clean energy initiative. In these challenging economic times, I-937 is delivering real economic development through energy efficiency and new, clean renewable energy projects. More investments, more savings, and more jobs will come to us as long as we keep this pathway open.
We’ll keep you up-to-date on I-937 developments throughout the coming legislative session. Stay tuned!
