Winter Event Calendar As the pandemic carries on, we know that caring for one another and our communities continues to be our most important work. If your self/community care looks like action, we have an upcoming calendar of engagement for you to plug in and keep being empowered. Our recent victories on Jordan Cove LNG in Oregon and on Kalama methanol are incredibly exciting and give us the boost we all need. As we ride this momentous wave, we’re looking forward to what’s happening next! Power Past Fracked Gas believes the antidote to despair is action — we hope you can join us!  Taking our power back: Puget Sound Energy, fossil fuels, and creating a clean and healthy energy future As the state’s largest energy utility, PSE provides fossil gas & electric services to almost 2M homes in Washington — & over the next couple of years could determine the state’s success in transitioning to clean energy. PSE spends more on lobbying and campaign contributions annually than Amazon, plays a large role in pro-fossil gas advertising campaigns, and is actively holding back the transition to renewable energy. PSE has too much power. Come gain knowledge, tools, and ways to take action for a cleaner, healthier, and less expensive energy future for Washington.
