It's that time of the year, John.
In just a few days, oil and gas companies will announce yet another year
of record profit at their Annual General Meetings.
But they aren't the only ones raking in huge amounts of money.
The utility companies trying to raise our rates and halt climate progress
will be announcing huge profits, too — and these companies are owned or
paid off by the fossil fuel industry.
But with your help, we won’t let them get away with it.
[ [link removed] ]Can you help us send a powerful message to fossil fuel-powered utility
companies that our climate movement is ready to go all out to hold them
accountable?

Utility companies that have monopolies to sell us gas and electricity
market themselves as providing energy as a public service. But in fact,
they're motivated by one thing: profit.
That’s why utility companies are choosing to spend the hard-earned money
we use to pay our energy bills on unreliable, expensive energy sources
that will burn down our planet — and fund their political efforts to slow
down the transition to renewable energy.^1
It’s why they choose to raise our rates to pad their wallets and maximize
their profits while turning off our power in seconds if we don’t pay them
enough.^2 This can have a devastating impact on health and safety, which
will only get worse in the face of a worsening climate crisis and more
extreme weather.
It’s not fair — and it doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why we’re going
BIG this year to take on utility companies and the fossil fuel companies
that back them.
Utility companies don’t want to change the status quo. But by exposing
utility companies' charades and ramping up public pressure, we can push
them to switch our utilities from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
Their Annual General Meetings are the perfect opportunity to do
it, John.
