The House has been moving very slowly in an effort to kill a Voter ID bill, but it appears the logjam has been broken. Now we have to pass our key solar and clean air bills before midnight Tuesday, May 26, which is the deadline for the House to pass any bills from the Senate.
We need YOU to pick up the phone and call your representative to say that you support solar energy and clean air.
Click here to find out who represents you, then call their office at the Capitol. Tell them:
I support SB 545, which would give homeowners incentives to put solar on their rooftops and create new green jobs.
I also support SB 541, which would support more large scale solar projects and repeat the success of our wind industry.
I also support SB 16, which would improve air quality through reducing auto emissions, better building codes, more energy efficiency, and plug-in hybrids. **If Texas does not adopt these 2009 IECC building codes, we could miss out on hundreds of millions in federal stimulus funds for weatherization.
Please support these bills in order to create tens of thousands of new green jobs in Texas and ensure a cleaner, cheaper, cooler energy future.
There are dozens of dirty energy lobbyists working to try to kill these bills as we speak. Will you stand up to them? Will you make your voice heard?
