What do these bad governance practices mean for us?

– a slow transition to clean energy

– high electric bills through over-reliance on fossil fuels

– board meetings and decisions that happen behind closed doors

– absolutely no language access for impacted communities

and more!

We can’t afford to have a grid operator that keeps failing to serve the public interest. That’s why we’re asking our state leaders to push for the renewable, affordable, and resilient electric grid we deserve.

Here’s what you can do:

1) Join Fix the Grid on Wednesday, May 14th at 11am on the Boston Common to demonstrate that the people want reforms — it’s past time for a passing grade on governance. After a rally on the Common near the statehouse, we’ll walk to 100 Cambridge St to deliver the report card to state offices. Be sure to invite your friends to come along!

2) Consider having your organization co-sponsor the rally. We would add your logo on the event materials in exchange for you committing to spread the word to your membership. If you’d like to co-sponsor, please email me at mireille@slingshot.org.

Please also note that we will have concurrent events in other state capitals! Contact the corresponding point person for each state if you’d like to join one of those:

Connecticut – Ian McDonald: mcdonaldstonemasonry@gmail.com

Maine – Amy Eshoo: amy@maineclimateaction.org

Vermont – Marla Marcum: marla@climatedisobedience.org

Rhode Island – Daisy Paz: daisybenitez2022@gmail.com

New Hampshire – Andrew Turner: mrandrewkentturner@gmail.com

See you out there!

Tyson Slocum highlighted the January 20 energy emergency declaration, which targets renewables and could hinder state policies promoting clean energy. Russ Aney noted the uncertainty and potential cuts to tax credits, particularly the 30% investment tax credit for solar, which could stall projects. Joe LaRusso mentioned the impact on offshore wind projects, with 2.5 GW already permitted and 6 GW unlikely to proceed. The tariffs on steel and aluminum could increase energy costs, hindering the transition to clean energy. Discussion followed.

An edited transcript of this meeting is available here.

Subsequent to the meeting, Tyson Slocum published a hard-hitting response to Trump’s emergency energy resolution that is available on the Public Citizen website here.
