Power Trip: How utilities use customer money to fund lobbying, corporate branding, and luxury lifestyle expenses Utilities seek to charge customers for lobbying, corporate advertising, and unnecessary expenses that do not benefit customers.

New report from @energyandpolicy.bsky.social reveals utilities are charging customers for lobbying, corporate branding, & luxury perks for executives — all while turning off poor people's power. This is why we must pass the Ratepayer Protection Act in MN. #MNLeg energyandpolicy.org/report-utili...

The fight isn’t over. Join us in demanding a vote for community solar in Michigan. Together, we can win clean energy solutions for ALL communities. #EnergyJustice #CommunitySolar #MiLEG

Catch the highlights from our press conference, featuring key leaders and powerful messages of support for #CommunitySolar from legislators, businesses, and community leaders: 🔗 fb.watch/wgwjxDUUvC/

We urge Rep Helena Scott to call another Energy Committee meeting and bring these bills up for a vote. If that doesn’t happen, @speakerjoetate.bsky.social must discharge the bills to the floor. They can do this now. It's the best chance we have to get these bills passed. #MiLEG

Despite the overwhelming support, the bills didn’t even get a vote in committee. We’re deeply disappointed in Democratic leadership that appears more accountable to corporate utilities than to their constituents. Michiganders deserve better. #CommunitySolar #MiLEG

On Wednesday, an incredible Community Solar Lobby Day brought together a strong show of support from passionate advocates and over 30 clean energy & environmental justice orgs united to push for a brighter, more affordable, and equitable energy future in Michigan. 🌞💪 #MiLEG
