NCSEA is pleased to announce the 4^th edition of its annual North Carolina Sustainable Energy Legislative Guide and 2007 Legislative Session Wrap-Up.

Annually, this guide reaches over 10,000 citizens, playing a vital role in educating the public about pending and recent legislation concerning:  renewable energy, energy efficiency and high performance buildings, energy and economic development, climate change, and a new section this year - oil, gas and coal. 

NCSEA is not advocating for the oil and offshore drilling bills listed here.  These bills are included to ensure citizens and business are aware of these proposed unsustainable approaches to resolving our long-term energy crisis.

The guide also explains how a bill becomes a law, and overviews the form and function of the NC Utilities Commission.

Download the 2006 NC Sustainable Energy Legislative Guide to see what energy legislation was considered by the NC General Assembly in 2006.  This is the 2nd annual edition of this new tool to inform the public of proposed energy legislation and how to have a voice in the legislative process.  NCSEA received valuable feedback that helped us make improvements to this year's guide.  We look forward to hearing about your discussions with legislators as we all work together for a more sustainable energy future.

NCSEA has found two primary reasons why great sustainable energy policy ideas do not become great energy laws in North Carolina and the Southeast.  Often, citizens and business are not aware of proposed sustainable energy legislation.  For the few who are, they are unsure of how to voice their support for improved energy policy or do not want to be singled out for doing so. 

NCSEA is attempting to remove this barrier to creating a sustainable energy future in North Carolina with the release of a new report - the 2005 North Carolina Sustainable Energy Legislative Guide.  Please read this guide and give NCSEA feedback on how we can better enable you to have a clear, collective voice in North Carolina's energy future.
