From Penn Future:

Pennsylvania’s state representatives can insure major, new electricity conservation programs are created for all customers in all parts of Pennsylvania. And our state can become a national leader on energy conservation in the process.But to do that, we need yes votes on HB 2200 and HB 2201 from our state representatives.

A vote on HB 2200, the bill creating major energy conservation programs – reducing the need for new power plants, with more distribution towers and wires, more air pollution, and more global warming pollution – is set for the House Consumer Affairs Committee on Tuesday (February 5, 2008) and for the floor of the house the following week. A vote is also set on the same schedule for HB 2201, which would give all consumers the tools they need to use energy smarter, especially smart meters. (For more information on these bills, visit our podcast site, www.pennfuturepodcast.org and click on the top two podcasts.)

Conserving energy is vital to Pennsylvania’s environment and economy, but there is significant pressure to weaken these bills that would make energy conservation possible.

TAKE ACTION: Please contact your state representative today to urge her/him to vote for both HB2200 and HB 2201.
