ISO-NE is an important but poorly understood institution that controls the market for electricity. It needs to respond more effectively to the climate crisis. Recently, a group of activists were elected to ISO’s ‘Consumer Liaison Group.’ This is a good result, potentially turning an otherwise docile committee to a voice for public input. We speak with one of the activists recently elected to the CLG.

The reading list:

• The "NoCoal/No Gas" blog discussing the CLG election
• A longtime observer describes the CLG election.
• ISO-NE's description of the CLG
• Scroll to the bottom to see an Organization chart showing where CLG fits in
• The Climate MInute on Demystifying FERC
• The Boston Globe on the fusion 'breakthrough"
• The Consumer Liaison Group’s twitter handle: @CLG_NE

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for a building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist the United States transform it’s energy sector, over the next decade, under a just and equitable plan, that uses regulations, investments and a price on carbon that protects environmental justice communities.

Thanks for listening.
