Dear former slate mates,
I wanted to invite you to join our ad hoc coalition to stop the Exelon/Pepco merger. I have attached a document for you to take a look at.
Join Power DC-- describes the coalition.
Additionally, ther is an event/party on December 17th that i would appreciate you coming to: Here's the link to the invite for the Dec 17th event at 5:00PM.
"The proposed Pepco-Exelon merger threatens DC residents and local businesses with higher energy bills and lower reliability. The merger reverses the District's progress on local renewable energy and energy efficiency, and it moves decision making for the District's grid from here in DC to a powerful corporation's headquarters in Chicago. Exelon's corporate interests are not aligned with the policy objectives of the District of Columbia, and Exelon's acquisition of Pepco is not in the public interest.
Instead of brokering a losing deal with a utility already in decline, city officials should work with our local utility and local innovators to build a system that delivers clean, efficient, reliable, local energy to keep our bills low, enhance security and increase local economic resilience. We urge the District Government to show leadership: reject the Exelon merger and foster an electricity system that is good for DC residents."
