Don’t get lost in the shuffle


The new EPA rule threatens jobs and increases costs. Over half a million Americans have told the EPA this simply won’t work. Please join us and let your voice be heard!


Six hundred pages, plus another 1,000 of supporting docu-


ments – that’s the length of the latest proposal from the En- vironmental Protection Agency (EPA). It would amend the Clean Air Act (only 465 pages) to limit carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the power plants on which we rely today. Besides the actual rule, a lot has been written about its le-


gality, feasibility, and complexity. But lost in the shuffle of these thousands of pages is the impact on people. How much will electric bills increase? Will manufacturers relocate? How many jobs will be lost? Which power plants will be forced to shut down? These are difficult questions. But they are important ques-


tions. At LREC, we work hard to keep your electricity afford- able and reliable. That’s why we are asking the EPA for an- swers to these and many other questions. We don’t want you to get lost in the shuffle. We put you –


our members – first. We see you every month paying your bill. We work with you. We know when times are tough. We often live next door.


After all, you govern us. Our board members and commu-


nity leaders are one in the same. We are as local as any orga- nization. That’s why we keep reminding the bureaucrats in Washing- ton, D.C., that the rules they write have an impact in the real


world – where we live. That’s why we are encouraging every- one to take 30 seconds to sign up at www.Action.coop and tell the EPA we cannot afford these regulations. Please raise your voice. Don’t get lost in the shuffle. To-


gether, we can tell the EPA that support for the environment and a true all-of-the-above energy policy are not mutually ex- clusive. Together we will remind regulators and lawmakers that the


impact new rules and laws have on people should be their first thought, not their last. With more than 900 electric cooperatives in the coun-


try backing us up, our voice can be heard. We have a great and positive story to tell. We can tell the story together. And it will not take 1,600 pages. Please take a moment to visit


www.Action.coop today.
