<div><b>One week
to go in this year's legislative session and Sacramento is swarming with
executives and lobbyists for the big three utilities. </b></div>
<div>They're close to passing
the most radical change in how we pay for electricity since the energy crisis. </div>
<div>Your support is
essential. <b>Help us keep the heat on in Sacramento and stand up to the big
utilities.</b></div>
<div><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><b><a rel="nofollow" title="Take Action!" target="_blank" href="http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=jDYwXY4ZYJS31v1S6egtNw">Tell your state senator: protect energy efficiency and rooftop solar and say no to fixed charges on your energy
bill!</a> </b></span></div>
<div>The bill, AB
327, authored by Assemblymember Henry Perea (D-Fresno), is a dream for big
utilities.
</div>
<div class="yiv4834488804TableGrid1"><b>Here's
what's at stake: </b></div>
<ul>
<li>AB
327 would add up to $120 in new and permanent charges on your electric bill.</li>
<li>AB
327 would slow adoption of rooftop solar. Sierra Club analysis indicates it
will slow the adoption of rooftop solar by up to 42%.</li>
<li>AB
327 would increase dirty energy use by slowing energy efficiency adoption. </li>
</ul>
<div class="yiv4834488804TableGrid1"><b>In short,
if AB 327 passes, you get new charges on your electric bill while rooftop solar
and energy efficiency programs take a major hit.</b> </div>
<div class="yiv4834488804TableGrid1">That means more fossil fuel
use, dirtier air, and more climate disrupting pollution. </div>

<div class="yiv4834488804TableGrid1">Thanks to
your emails and phone calls, we are making progress. Just last week, the bill
was amended to include important provisions for rooftop solar, but we still
have a ways to go to and not a lot of time to make changes.</div>
<div class="yiv4834488804TableGrid1">That's why
we need your help right now. </div>
