Hey John,

Last week, the Midwest saw some record-breaking temperatures, even as many residents were left literally out in the cold as their power was turned off during rolling blackouts!

Lincoln and Omaha hit a record low, yet some Nebraskans were left without power, as it was diverted on the power grid to other areas that were also in need.

Basically, there was not enough energy to go around to everyone who needed it.

Governor Ricketts spoke out about the rolling blackouts, calling them “completely unacceptable.” He added, “This is the United States of America. We are not some developing nation who has an unreliable power grid.”

We need to take a long hard look at whether our state and entire nation should be relying on more traditional (and reliable!) sources of power like coal and nuclear plants.

If we’ve learned one thing during this cold snap, it’s that wind and solar plants can’t cut it when it comes to emergencies that threaten lives and livelihoods.

Please help support commonsense energy solutions in Nebraska by making a donation today.

We need principled leaders in our state who won’t leave Nebraskans out in the cold. Help us elect them by chipping in right now.

Thanks for your help,
