Welcome to Sumter EMC
LOOMING ELECTRICITY CRISIS!
America is facing a looming electricity crisis! The climate change and
greenhouse gas emissions legislation currently being debated in Congress will
have a profound impact on our future power supply. Legislation that is poorly designed could have a
disastrous impact on both the cost and reliability of electric power.
Click here for the full report of the
testimony given by Mr. Glenn English, CEO, National Rural Electric
Cooperative Association, before the House Energy and Commerce Committee,
Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment on April 23, 2009. Mr. English emphasized the critical need for our
federal legislators to make sure that any climate change legislation balances environmental
concerns with the public's need for reliable, affordable electric power.
If you agree that electricity is not a luxury, but a necessity, and should be
reliable and affordable for all Americans, join
the debate and make your voice heard. To get involved and learn more about how
climate change and renewable resource legislation will affect the price and
reliability of your electric power visit
