Tell Lawmakers: Stop Another California Energy Crisis
California Legislators
Californians’ health, lives, and livelihoods are threatened every summer
when heat waves and extreme wildfires strain energy supplies or cause
blackouts.
Tell your Legislator: Act now to prevent an energy crisis
that could expose us to Texas-style blackouts and slow the progress
towards California's ultimate goal of becoming a 100% clean energy
economy.

Dear [Legislator],
I am writing to urge your support of AB 538 as an essential next step for California to keep the lights on and prevent runaway energy costs while building a 100% clean energy economy.
AB 538 will allow California to work with neighboring states to manage energy across the Western United States in order to prevent blackouts and keep energy prices affordable. California’s families, schools, and businesses don’t have to face these challenges alone. Most of the nation participates in these multi-state energy grids because they provide more reliable and affordable energy.
Since most Western states have adopted clean energy goals like California, we should work together to build the clean energy we need. Isolating ourselves will make this work harder and more expensive. It’s a recipe for disaster, exposing us to blackouts on a scale only seen in Texas. Two years ago, Texas’ isolated energy grid failed – causing 246 deaths and nearly $130 billion in damages.
As you cast your vote on AB 538, vote for more affordable and reliable clean energy. Vote for more green jobs. That’s the future Californians need and are counting on you to support today.
