The Clearwater Power Company
is urging their members to contact their Senators as Congress is considering
climate change legislation that could significantly “INCREASE” your electric
bill if not done right. This legislation would create new government policy for
energy use and production. It would charge you, the consumer, for the greenhouse
gases emitted when electricity is produced.
We can make sure climate
change goals are achievable and affordable if our elected officials work with
the power companies. Our senators need to fight for a bill that is affordable
and achievable. We can make our voices heard by going to
www.ourenergy.coop where you can
authorize the “Our Energy, Our Future” campaign to deliver this message to
Congress on your behalf. This information is also available in card form from
the Clearwater Power Company.
At the town meeting held in
Orofino on April 15, General Manager of Clearwater Power Company, Dave Hagen,
encouraged everyone to get involved in this grass roots program; 617 members
have already signed up and 2300 messages have been sent to the government. We
all need to stay educated and engaged on this issue, so go to the website or
stop by their office and sign up.
