CALIFORNIANS FOR AFFORDABLE AND RELIABLE ENERGY
Californians for Affordable and Reliable Energy (CARE) is a broad-based coalition of small businesses, community groups, local business organizations, and statewide associations that are calling on policymakers to prioritize affordability and working Californians when making energy policy decisions.
WE NEED
AFFORDABLE ENERGY
SMART POLICIES
RESPONSIBLE CLIMATE CHANGE LAWS
We need to control the rising costs of energy and ensure we have the supply needed to keep costs affordable for all Californians.
There is a growing list of state-mandated programs and requirements that have rapidly increased energy costs compared to the rest of the nation—driving up costs on everyone and everything.
For families to succeed and for businesses to grow in California, they need to know that their electricity, transportation and natural gas costs will be manageable. But costs have gone beyond what millions of Californians manage every month. The Federal Reserve has recently reported that one million Californians are three months behind in making their car payments.
Californians for Affordable and Reliable Energy is working to educate policymakers and regulators about the impact their choices are making on hardworking California families and businesses and how energy policies are directly affecting the state’s ongoing affordability crisis.
