TELL ASSEMBLY MEMBER LISA CALDERON TO STOP HER ATTACK ON ROOTOP SOLAR CONSUMERS ANS DROP AB 492
Before she was Assemblywoman Lisa Calderon, she was a Southern California Edison political operative. Unfortunately, in the state legislature, Assemblywoman Calderon continues to serve the narrow interests of the monopoly utilities. She has introduced AB 492. The bill would allow the monopoly utilities to renege on solar contracts to existing customers. That’s an unconstitutional way of allowing the monopoly utilities to continue to pad their profits at the expense of consumers and a clean energy future.
You can put democracy into action and let Assembly Member Calderon that her attack on rooftop solar customer contracts unconstitutional and unacceptable.
Send an official position letter to Assemblymember Calderon from you or your organization.
Hello, I am (name), a (climate justice, energy justice, and environmental justice advocate and concerned constituent) from (your local community or organization). I’m writing to express my strong opposition to AB 492, the legislation you recently introduced.
I (or “Our organization”) respectfully but firmly urge you to withdraw AB 492 and instead focus on real solutions to rising electricity rates—namely, addressing the overspending on outdated and costly infrastructure by monopoly utilities. Which is the actual reason for rising electric rates.
California cannot meet its climate goals or build a modern, affordable, and equitable energy grid without prioritizing distributed energy resources like rooftop solar and battery storage.
We appreciate your service to the state and your district, but we also expect our legislators to act in the best interests of the planet and working families. AB 492 undermines those efforts.
Thank you,
(Name and Title)
