Colleagues,

I want to share with you the following two letters from the coalition’s leadership that were released today:

Letter to President Trump.  This letter tells the story of how the wind and solar energy industries have become an important part of the states’ economies — industries that now employ hundreds of thousands of Americans. The letter also discusses the economic potential of the nation’s vast offshore wind energy resources and suggests several initiatives that will bolster the nation’s renewable energy future.

Letter to the Nation’s Governors.  This letter reminds the nation’s governors that visionary state energy policies laid the foundation for today’s renewable energy industries.  The letter also highlights a recent U.S. Department of Energy report that documents how today’s gubernatorial and legislative leadership is creating jobs and providing enormous environmental benefits.

The letters are listed alphabetically by state.

Thanks for all your help and especially the support of Governor Raimondo’s and Governor Brownback’s staffs

Our next monthly conference call is scheduled for Thursday, February 23, 2017. We plan to feature Massachusetts’ offshore wind development plan.  Your suggestions for agenda topics are always welcomed.

Larry
