Our Energy, Our Future, Action Alert
Demand for electricity in America is growing. It is estimated that we will need 30% more electricity by 2030 and experts have warned that unless we do something soon, regions of the country could face electricity shortages as soon as 2011.
Consumers are asking Congress some basic questions:
- How is Congress going to help us meet the future demand for electricity?
- How are they going to help us develop technology to reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
- How is Congress going to help keep electricity affordable?
The answers to these questions are important to every American. Elected officials need to know that electric cooperatives, and their consumer-owners, stand ready to work with them to develop a plan.
