SB 152 allows Alaskans to purchase shares in community-owned solar arrays, not located on their home or property. Purchasing a share in a “solar garden” is often cheaper and opens up energy savings to renters and low-income community members who can’t afford renewable energy.

SB 152 was introduced this year, we need support for the bill before the second part of the 33rd legislative session convenes. Alaskan voices will be crucial to persuade our elected leaders to support and pass this bill.

GREAT NEWS: U.S. carbon emissions have fallen for the first time in the Biden era. U.S. emissions fell by 5%, or 105 million tons, compared to the same time last year. Renewables also generated more power than coal through the first five months of 2023. 👏

Over the past ten years, the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska trawl fleets have caught, killed, and discarded approximately 141 million pounds of salmon, halibut, crab, sablefish, and other species, yearly. It's time for some intervention before they wreck the party for everyone.

C-PACER impacts are happening! Good news! “A third-party engineer estimated that we would save around $600K/yr over a 20-yr expected life,” Fisher said. “That will be more than $12 million, that’s not bad for a five-and-a-half million dollar investment.” alaskapublic.org/2023/06/27/…

Anchorage green financing program closes biggest deal to date

The C-PACER program helps finance energy efficiency upgrades for commercial properties, like the former Aviator Hotel downtown.

Gov. Dunleavy's Board of Education has proposed a rule that would prevent trans girls from playing sports with peers who match their gender identity. There is simply no data to support fairness concerns when trans athletes participate alongside their cisgender peers.

The Alaska State Board of Education’s mission is “An Excellent Education for Every Student Every Day.” The proposed regulation changes blatantly violate their mission by targeting and isolating trans students from their peers while violating every students’ privacy.
