Today, please take 10 minutes and email Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn and ask her to support the Solar Freedom Act, HB572. http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?201+sum+HB572

Solar Freedom HB572 (Keam) will likely be up for a vote on Tuesday, 2/4 in the House Labor and Commerce Committee. Speaker Filler-Corn has tremendous influence over the Democratic majority on the committee and the entire House of Delegates.

Filler-Corn needs to hear from ALL Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions supporters loud and clear how important you believe it is for the Solar Freedom Act to become law.

If you are a constituent, say so in your first line. If not, tell her that you live in Fairfax County, mention your involvement with FACS, your congregation or faith community, and that addressing accelerating climate disruption is a moral imperative.

Virginia law restricts local governments, residents and businesses from installing solar for their own use. These barriers are legal, not technical. HB 572 The Solar Freedom Act includes eight easy reforms that will remove barriers. These simple policy fixes let the free market grow solar in our communities, supporting the transition to clean energy and well-paying jobs right here in Virginia.
