Support Our Energy, Our Future

Pressure is mounting in Congress to do something about climate change.  And while political debates in Washington, D.C., may seem far away, the outcome will have a direct impact on Peace River Electric – and on you, the cooperative member.

And yet energy supply isn’t an issue our elected representatives are spending a lot of time on.  The desire by government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions quickly and the growing demand for power by consumers, are about to collide. 

To avert an energy crisis, the federal government must exercise true leadership.  Without that leadership government risks not only the reliability of our electric system, but literally the ability of many Americans to be able to afford to pay their electric bill. 

We, as electric co-op members, must call on elected officials to provide this leadership.  That’s why we encourage you to contact your elected officials.  Now. 

Now is the time for concerned citizens to ask elected officials some important questions - Questions which will draw attention to the problem of balancing climate change goals with keeping your lights on and your electric bills affordable.

Right now, members of Congress as well as state elected officials are hearing from lots of different interest groups who have ideas about how to address climate change.  No one is talking to consumers, however.  We need a plan people can live with today while we deal with the climate change issue of tomorrow.  

To make things easy, we have a website that will send an email for you. Simply, click on the link shown below and plug in your address.  There you’ll be able to send a series of pre-selected questions to your representatives in Washington and Florida. The most basic but critical question?  What are they doing to make sure we’ll have the power we need in the future?

The electric bill you save will be your own.
