things have turned out worse than I dreamed possible. I underestimated the depth and intransigence of society’s collective climate denial.” - Peter Kalmus, NASA climate scientist

Q: What is Gazprom?
A: Gazprom is a Russian majority state-owned multinational energy corporation headquartered in Saint Petersburg. As of 2019, with sales over $120,000,000,000, it was ranked as the largest publicly listed natural gas company in the world and the largest company in Russia by revenue.

Q: Who is Gazprom's major funder?
A: JPMorgan Chase is the largest global funder of Gazprom. Between 2016 and 2020 the firm provided the company with roughly $3.5 billion [$3,500,000,000] in financing. - Rainforest Action Network
 
Aside from JPMorgan, no other major U.S. banks were in the top 10.

Me Energies: Rally For AffordableEnergy Now
Saturday, October 15, 2022
12:00 - 1:00pm


Zeidler Union Square Park
301 W Michigan St, Milwaukee

What is happening?
Before We Energies can increase how much it charges customers, it must get permission from the Public Service Commission (PSC), a branch of the government. They must explain how much money they need and why.  The PSC asks the public and experts for input and decides how much to allow the utility to increase rates.

During 'rate cases' like these, We Energies often makes agreements with organizations that are concerned about the proposal.

What is We Energies asking for?
Increases to gas and electrical rates:
  • Raise electricity revenue by 8.4%
  • Raise gas revenue by 10.7%
​We Energies is claiming this increase is because they are building more clean energy, but they have also announced plans to keep expensive coal plants running.  Last year, they announced plans to build a new gas storage facility, even though it was proven that an energy efficiency program would have saved ratepayers money.
