HB 2380 just passed the PA House! We need to move fast to build support in the Senate, because w/o action our families will continue to pay more for electricity. 👍 Tell your State Senator to vote YES to affordability, reliability & a stronger energy economy: bit.ly/YesHB2380

🤔 Even if you want to choose solar, you may not be able to in PA. Community solar is not legal despite being allowed in every surrounding state. 🌞 Community solar allows energy to be produced at a separate location from where you live. It's about the freedom to choose. Learn: bit.ly/SCPACommunity
