Everyday Texans To Call For Substantive Action, Not Handouts To Fossil Fuel Companies
Contact

AUSTIN, TEXAS -- The February winter storm Uri killed hundreds of Texans. Now, state regulators at the Public Utility Commission (PUC) are following Governor Abbott and allowing the same fossil fuel companies and utilities that caused our suffering to determine the solutions for “fixing” the electric grid. State leaders must listen to everyday Texans and actually fix the electric grid - not to add more of the same old dirty fossil fuels that already left Texans in the cold.

What: A virtual Public Hearing where everyday Texans can share their experiences from the freeze and call on regulators and policymakers to take action

When: Saturday, November 20, 2021, 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM Central
Note that public remarks are scheduled to begin at 11:15 AM 

Where: Online; register at sc.org/FixTheGrid or email Emma Pabst at emma.pabst@sierraclub.org for a direct link
