when a utility says …“we will freeze our rates for 2 years as soon as we get this next rate increase approved,” that is akin to a utility finishing a decadent lunch, and proudly declaring that it’s going on a diet until dinner. From @energyandpolicy.org utilitywatch.substack.com/p/beware-uti...

Beware utilities and candidates bearing “rate freeze” gifts
Rate freezes sound good, but they often come with booby traps, and without real reform

#Congress just made going solar harder for families. 🚨 BUT, your advocacy STOPPED a new #solar tax from being imposed! This fight is far from over. We're turning this setback into a long-term win. Personalize your message to Congress now: ow.ly/wjXm50WkGhZ (SUN Action)

This group says natural gas bans hurt minorities. It has gas industry ties.
The Energy Poverty Awareness Center has ties to a group that is largely funded by fossil fuel firms, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.
