NC General Assembly

Do you support reducing our dependence on foreign sources of energy while creating thousands of new jobs in North Carolina and a cleaner environment?  We need your help - Take action now!

The actions of the NC General Assembly impact all of us greatly - our businesses, our organizations, our lives, our communities, and the issues that matter most to us.  We need all supporters of renewable energy resources and energy efficiency solutions to get involved and help the NC Sustainable Energy Association (NCSEA) educate legislators and encourage them to pass our much-needed clean energy bills before they adjourn. If legislators pass these bills, they will create more than 12,000 jobs by 2015, expand business and economic opportunities in communities across our state,  increase market demand and competition, which will further drive down the costs, and strengthen our national security by reducing our dependence on foreign energy sources.

The 2011 session of the NC General Assembly began in late January and concluded most of its work on June 18.  Legislators plan to hold a special session beginning on July 13, which will focus on redistricting and possible vetoes by Governor Perdue.  A second special session is anticipated in the fall that will focus on various constitutional amendments which have been introduced this year.
