Give Hoosiers the Opportunity to Generate Green Power: Email Your State Senator Today
|
 Net metering is policy that substantially increases the financial incentive for consumers to produce power from solar panels, small wind turbines, etc. Indiana`s current net metering policies, ranked at the bottom of the nation, deny industry, universities, and places of worship from taking advantage of this policy. In addition, only very small renewable energy systems can qualify. Help change that. Email your state Senator today. Tell your senator that you want the SB 313 to have strong net metering language similar to the bi-partisan backed HB 1094. If you hear from your senator, let us know; contact us at comments@hecweb.org. Learn more about net metering.

| HEC, Partners Call on U.S. EPA to Take Major Steps to Correct Flaws in Indiana`s Water Pollution Control Program |
 HEC took a decisive step in its efforts to protect water quality in Indiana. HEC, and its partners the Environmental Law and Policy Center and the Hoosier Chapter of the Sierra Club, submitted a "Petition for Corrective Action" before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, urging the US EPA to take action in addressing major deficiencies in the Indiana Dept. of Environmental Management (IDEM)`s water pollution program.
In the view of HEC and our partners, IDEM`s water pollution program, as it is currently administered, poses risks to our already polluted waterways and to our public health. Click here to view the press release. View the Indiana Impaired Waters list here. To view info about the potential local impacts of Indiana’s water program click here. For inquires, please contact Rae Schnapp, Water Policy Director, at rschnapp@hecweb.org, or the HEC office at 317-685-8800. |

| Do Hoosiers Want an I-69 Bailout? |
 The I-69 Highway project is over budget and underfunded, according to an Indianapolis Star article. As many opponents to the I-69 project know, this route will destroy over 7,000 acres of forest and farmland, and force the relocation of hundreds of homes and thriving businesses. HEC continues to speak out against the new terrain I-69 project and support a common sense alternative route. Hear comments from HEC`s Senior Policy Director, Tim Maloney on Bloomington`s WFHB here. Learn more about the alternatives here and give your support to the campaign here.
