The Why
All too often, Americans experience the negative impacts of energy scarcity such as rising utility costs that strain family budgets or growing energy demand that threatens the reliability of our country’s electrical grid. At EEN, we support a just transition to clean, affordable, and abundant energy that allows America to remain an innovative energy leader without sacrificing the wellbeing of its people. No family should have to choose between heating their home or putting food on the table. Clean energy from renewable sources allows households, schools, business, and churches to save money on energy while emitting fewer fossil fuels that drive climate change. It’s a win-win!
