Subject: Stop the Raid on the Renewable Energy Fund!
Dear Representative,
During Thursday's budget discussion at the State House, Representative David Segal will be introducing an amendment to restore the $1 million that Governor Carcieri and the House Finance Committee have proposed cutting from the budget.
Along with local energy developers, environmental advocates and outraged ratepayers, I urge you to vote to SUPPORT this amendment and the Renewable Energy Fund. This investment is a tiny piece of the budget but a huge investment for Rhode Island's economic and energy future.
The REF is a restricted receipt account that comes from the "conservation fee" on Rhode Islanders' electric bills. This fee is collected from residents and businesses with the explicit assumption that it will be used for conservation programs, such as the energy efficiency programs run by the utility, and the Renewable Energy Fund that the RI Economic Development Corporation uses to provide grants to subsidize renewable energy projects.
The Renewable Energy Fund's expenditures in the form of grants and loans leverage several times their amount in investment in the critical green jobs sector, which is barely getting a foothold in Rhode Island compared to many other states throughout the country. This sector creates local jobs at a time when they are most needed.
Thank you for your support of this critical issue,
