As gas prices, energy bills, and the cost of everyday essentials continues to rise, it’s clear that America needs more energy – ASAP. Solar and storage are among the quickest, most affordable resources to deploy, but they’re being unnecessarily delayed by current permitting laws. Tell your member of Congress to support the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act and unlock more solar and storage projects — and the jobs, investment, and lower energy bills they bring – for communities around the country.
Why it’s important
There is now enough solar energy to power 50 million homes in the U.S. – that’s equivalent to1/3 of the population! Solar and battery storage have seen unprecedented growth over the last ten years alone. They have huge potential to lower energy bills, provide grid reliability, and provide significant investment at a time when energy costs are reaching unprecedented highs. But unless we pass updated laws, solar and battery storage construction will continue to face unnecessary delays. Families and businesses need relief now, not years down the line.
What this means for your community
By updating and streamlining permitting laws, companies will get the certainty they need to build more projects across the country. This will bring more funding, jobs, and lower costs to people who need it most.
Our goal
By raising your voice to Congress, you can help accelerate solar and storage deployment and protect your energy bill and your pocketbook from higher prices.
