Environment Massachusetts: LIFT THE SOLAR CAP!



PLEASE SPEAK OUT & ADD YOUR NAME!


Take action!


















In my time as an environmental advocate, I've seen firsthand how much we can accomplish when we build support on the grassroots level. And let me tell you: we brought a lot of grassroots power to Beacon Hill. 

We just got back from the State House, where we delivered letters and petitions signed by thousands of community leaders and ordinary citizens, urging state officials to bring more solar energy to Massachusetts. 

Now, we have just over 48 hours left to lift the caps on solar before the Legislature wraps up for the year. And there's one man who has the power to make it happen: House Speaker Robert DeLeo. 

We're running out of time but we can do this one last thing. Please email Speaker DeLeo today and urge him to lift the caps on solar immediately. 

Throughout this campaign, we've faced stubborn opposition from some of the most powerful and well-heeled special interests in the state: the utility companies. They see solar as a threat to their business model, and they want to keep Massachusetts hooked on dirty fossil fuels. 

But we didn't give up. We worked to demonstrate broad public support for solar energy and urge officials to do what's right. You've stood with us, and now we're so close to victory. 

If Speaker DeLeo gives the go-ahead, we can pass a bill to lift the caps on solar before the Legislature leaves for the year. But the utilities are trying to run out the clock.
Ask Speaker DeLeo to lift the caps on solar power. 

Together, we can beat the utility companies and bring more solar to Massachusetts. Please take action today.
