Choices

Philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre jotted down a line that seems tailor-made for the energy challenges facing our nation, and electric co-ops: "We are our choices." I truly believe that statement and have told my children many times as they were leaving the house, to “make good choices”. Indeed, who we are is reflected in how we choose to live and the decisions we make each and every day.
Our leaders in Congress are tackling tough energy choices this year, choices we, as a nation, should make together. Will we choose for electricity to remain affordable, or will we choose for it to be a luxury? Are we ready for brownouts if enough power’s not available, or will we choose a diverse energy mix to provide safe, reliable, and affordable electricity in an environmentally responsible fashion? Will we choose to move forward or will we find ourselves, despite good intentions, moving backwards?
The climate change debate in Congress is coming down to the wire. Now, more than ever before, is the time to make sure your voice—and your choice—is heard. At Lyon-Coffey Electric our choice is clear. We’ve always been committed to providing affordable, reliable energy is a responsible manner. This choice reflects who we are, and why we were founded by members like you in an effort to move our community forward into a brighter future.
Tough choices call for strong voices, and no voice is stronger than the combined force of 42 million electric cooperative consumers across the nation. Together we can choose to speak up for affordability. We can choose to invest in technology to lower energy costs, and we can pave the way for adding energy to the grid. Most importantly we can choose to work together, calling on Congress to work with electric co-ops in a combined effort to address climate change responsibly with affordability in mind.
The choice is clear. Make sure your voice—and your choice—counts. Join with thousands of fellow cooperative members and visit www.ourenergy.coop and choose to be heard today.
