The board of directors of Hoosier Interfaith Power and Light opposes SB 340 out of a concern for good stewardship of the Earth and its finite resources. H-IPL is a growing statewide faith-based organization inspired by the call of our many faith traditions to care for and safeguard the Earth.
Speaking from many faith traditions, we share scriptural principles of fairness and justice and believe that large electric customers should do their fair share to contribute toward the state’s energy efficiency programs. Senate Bill 340 would let the very largest industrial users get special treatment by allowing them to withdraw from the Demand Side Management program and would allow the rich to take advantage of the cost savings of efficiency programs paid for by home owners, small businesses and non-profits.
