Here comes the sun… but it needs your help!

Solar energy projects have been proposed across Pennsylvania at the utility-scale level, meaning that they are large enough to send power to our electric grid. Unfortunately, these promising projects are often stopped at the local level, sometimes after planning and permitting processes have already made significant progress. Even well-intentioned local municipalities can become a barrier to renewable energy adoption since they can control local land use. Much of this resistance is fueled by misinformation which ultimately originates from fossil fuel companies and PR firms.

The good news is that you can play a role in ensuring that your neighbors know the facts and understand the benefits of bringing more clean energy to our communities

In this next episode of the Clean Energy for All series, the Sierra Club will discuss why solar energy projects are good for our communities, how to combat misinformation and work with local governments to secure project approvals, and highlight specific projects in the state that need your voice right now

You will also hear about Sierra Club volunteers whose efforts advocating for a pending solar project had a direct impact on securing local government support. Learn more about the recent victory in Centre County from the Sierra Club Moshannon Group in this month’s issue of the Sylvanian

Are you ready to speak up for solar energy? Join us on February 25th to bring some sunshine to this long, cold winter.

Sun, sun, sun… Here we come!
