The Big Picture

The cost and supply of fossil fuel is a growing concern. Continued reliance on carbon-based energy impacts the quality of the environment, your family’s health —and is clearly linked to global warming. Escalating demand for fossil fuel threatens the economic and homeland security of the United States — with reliance on oil sources from politically unstable regions of the world.

Water supplies are strained in many areas of the country and the cost to deliver and treat water is staggering — adding further to carbon emissions. Water conservation is good for the environment and your budget.

  • Rate caps on Pennsylvania’s largest energy suppliers come off in 2010 and 2011. Energy rates are estimated to rise locally by 40%.
  • If every American home switched their 5 most frequently used bulbs with ENERGY STAR replacements, we would save close to $8 billion each year in energy costs — and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from nearly 10 million cars.
