It’s time for our country to conserve more energy, use the energy we do have more efficiently, and produce energy in ways that are safe, renewable and better for our health and future.

PIRG is working to end the subsidies that fuel the climate crisis and advocating for state laws to improve energy efficiency, protect ratepayers from utility schemes and ripoffs, and encourage more investment in clean, renewable energy.

Priorities

Clean energy

A new clean energy future is possible, but only if we work together to make it happen.

Fossil fuel pollution

Fossil fuel pollution is dirty and dangerous, threatening our health, the climate and our future.

Energy efficiency

The fastest and most affordable way to get our country’s energy use under control is to make our homes, businesses and communities more energy efficient.
