Se-Ma-No Electric Cooperative

"Our Energy, Our Future," is a public campaign to engage Cooperative consumer/members in a conversation with elected officials about the future electricity needs of the country and how meeting climate change goals may impact their utility bills.

At their 2008 Annual Meeting, NRECA introduced a public campaign to give cooperatives and their consumer/members a voice in the debate over energy legislation occurring now in state legislatures and Congress.

The campaign aims to motivate cooperative stakeholders -- employees, board directors, consumer/members -- to ask elected officials hard questions about the cost and impact of climate change legislation. It is important for our elected officials to remember that ultimately, the cost of any program or requirement will rest with the consumer.

Cooperative members are encouraged to participate in the campaign by visiting www.ourenergy.coop where they will be able to send letters containing the question to elected officials.
