Situation

The Consumer Energy Alliance collaborates with dedicated citizens and community leaders around the nation to advocate and promote sensible energy policies for consumers, families, and small businesses. A crucial part of this effort is the sound and unbiased information that the organization provides on energy and environmental issues.

Working at every level of government, CEA helps policymakers and the general public learn more about all of the forms of energy used in all cities and states, and how sensible policies and thoughtful solutions can help develop energy resources while meeting critical environmental, conservation, and efficiency goals.
