I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this, John.
I’m hearing from people across the country who are shocked by their energy bills this winter. With your support, 350.org is fighting back against the greedy, for-profit utility companies that are raising rates and keeping us hooked on expensive oil and gas.
But to make our campaign as effective as possible, we need to understand how energy costs are impacting your daily life. Will you take our 2 minute survey to share your thoughts?
Utility companies are fueling the climate crisis and the affordability crisis, and we’re growing a groundswell of support to change that.
We’re demanding an energy system that benefits us all and our planet – and when you take the survey today, you can help make sure our campaign prioritizes the solutions that matter most to you.
Together,
Katrina for Team 350

To: John [[email protected]]
Hi John,
Energy costs are skyrocketing this winter. And the recent storm, which pummelled more than half the country with heavy snow, ice, and extreme cold, will only drive our heating bills even higher.
Costs are rising in part because utility companies are hiking up their rates – they requested $31 billion in rate hikes in 2025 alone.1 Now they’re raking in profits while keeping us hooked on expensive fossil fuels. We’re fighting back against the greedy, for-profit utility companies – and I want to hear from you, John.
Everyone deserves access to clean, affordable energy to heat their homes this winter. But we’ve seen how utility companies work to block the transition to clean, renewable energy.
They know that renewable energy is cheaper and safer to use, which means fewer rate hikes for their customers and less profit for themselves and their shareholders. And in most states, it’s perfectly legal for utilities to pass the costs of lobbying against clean energy onto their customers.2
Utility companies are worsening the climate crisis and the affordability crisis. They’re putting profits over people and our planet, and we won’t stand for it.
To inform and shape our utilities campaign, we need to know which solutions will best serve ALL of us. That’s why I need to hear from you, John. Please take just a few minutes to fill out our 2026 Utilities Survey.
In solidarity,
Katrina for Team 350
