Empowering Clean Energy Advocacy Across the United States
Key Ideas
- Earthjustice is intervening in Alaska and Arizona before regulatory commissions to advocate for clean energy, facing opposition from utilities.
- In Alaska, efforts are being made to import liquefied natural gas, potentially driving up energy costs, despite abundant local clean energy sources like wind and solar.
- In Arizona, Earthjustice has been defending rooftop solar growth against utility attacks, leading to significant victories in protecting solar customers.
- California serves as a pioneering state for clean energy policies, with Earthjustice advocating for cleaner energy generation and innovative initiatives like vehicle charging infrastructure.
In the United States, Earthjustice is actively involved in advocating for clean energy solutions in Alaska, Arizona, and California. In Alaska, despite the state's vast potential for clean energy sources such as wind, geothermal, and solar power, utilities are planning to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) to address energy needs, potentially increasing rates for customers. Earthjustice is intervening to promote energy conservation and the development of local clean energy resources. In Arizona, Earthjustice has been defending rooftop solar growth from utility attacks before the Arizona Corporation Commission, achieving significant victories in protecting solar customers. California stands out as a pioneer in clean energy policies, being the first state with a 100% clean energy goal and leading in innovations like battery storage and electric vehicle infrastructure. Earthjustice's advocacy in California has led to groundbreaking policies such as SB 100, driving the state towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
