Clean Energy Lobby Day

Your voice is needed to make the case for clean energy policies in Kentucky that can generate thousands of good new jobs and help our families and businesses save money by saving energy.

HB 195, sponsored by Rep. Mary Lou Marzian, is a practical and powerful way to jumpstart investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy across our Commonwealth. The bill is modeled on policies already working well and creating jobs in places like Ohio and North Carolina, along with about 30 other states. With a slumping economy and energy bills running high, Kentuckians are looking for meaningful solutions. HB 195 would generate about 28,000 net new jobs in the Commonwealth over the next decade. Ten years from now, average electric bills in Kentucky are projected to be 8-10% lower under this bill than under a “business as usual” scenario.

Join with members of KFTC and the Kentucky Sustainable Energy Alliance for a Clean Energy Lobby Day in Frankfort on Wednesday, February 26, 2014. 

Let us know if you plan to attend by registering today!

Here’s a brief run down of our schedule on February 26:

• Meet in Room 125 of the Capitol Annex in Frankfort between 8:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. Meet in room 129 after 11:45 a.m.

• Talk with lawmakers between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

• Reconvene in Room 129 of the Capitol Annex from 1 to 4 p.m. for a coalition meeting of the KY Sustainable Energy Alliance.

We will try to schedule as many appointments as possible with legislators on February 26. And we will do our best to match you with any meetings that are scheduled with legislators from your region. However, if you have a good relationship with specific legislators, it’s a good idea for you to reach out to them yourself to set up an appointment. Please do let us know if you’ve confirmed a meeting so that we don’t duplicate efforts. You can send any related updates to [email protected] or [email protected].
