Vote NO on I-2066
Pledge to vote NO on I-2066

Have you heard about Initiative 2066?

It might be you haven’t heard about this bad initiative on the Washington State ballot this fall, or if you have, it’s most likely lies from the fossil fuel industry and well-funded interests sponsoring I-2066. Learn more about the far reaching negative impacts of I-2066, and pledge to vote no today!

Pledge to vote NO on 2066!

Here are the top 3 reasons to pledge to vote no on I-2066 by Election Day: 

  • I-2066 would increase energy bills. It would require utility companies to continue investing in outdated technology, and the costs would be passed onto families and businesses.
  • I-2066 attacks energy efficiency. It would roll back modern protections that make homes and businesses more energy efficient. It jeopardizes energy efficiency programs and would take away important customer rebates, raising costs for Washingtonians.
  • I-2066 is funded by powerful interest groups. It is part of a nationwide effort by fossil fuel corporations and well-funded interest groups that want to make as much money as possible while Washington families pay higher energy bills.

We’ll have more actions coming up to help out this effort and the broader campaign to defeat the other bad ballot initiatives. Today we wanted to tell you about this special campaign launch and spread the news!

Description

New analysis shows that I-2066 could raise consumers' gas bills by $150 or more over the coming years. Costs can be avoided with a well-managed clean energy transition.
