#PublicPower urges Congress to pass the #FixOurForests Act to help continue providing affordable and reliable electricity to communities and maintain vital energy infrastructure.
House Committee on Natural Resources
@NatResourcesOct 15
When our forests go unmanaged, your utility bills go up. That’s why @EEI, @NRECANews and @PublicPowerorg are urging Congress to pass the #FixOurForests Act so they can harden their infrastructure for increasing wildfire risks and continue to provide reliable, low cost energy to American families. The #FixOurForests Act protects communities in the wildland-urban interface, protects our energy infrastructure, and will make utility bills more affordable for Americans. Read more below ⬇️
