Epoch Solar endorses
Great Green Jobs Campaign!
Pennsylvania stands at a crossroads.
Will we continue down the business-as-usual path, relying on dirty and dangerous 19th century technology, or will we join the 21st century clean energy economy, cut air, water, and global warming pollution.
That decision is now before the Pennsylvania General Assembly.
Member of the Pennsylvania House and Senate will be considering two great green jobs bills this spring. Together these bills will lay out a forward-looking energy policy for Pennylvania that will create tens of thousands of jobs in the solar, wind, and energy efficiency industries.
House Bill 2200, the energy savings bill, creates robust energy efficiency and conservation programs in all parts of Pennsylvania and gives every electric consumer a smart meter, a key tool for managing electricity use. Special Session House Bill 1, the clean energy funding bill, provides $850 million of investments in renewable energy, green buildings and energy efficiency. Included in the bill is $200 for solar.
