Act 18 Will Have Disastrous Consequences for Vermonters

Sign The Letter

Dear Legislator

I hope this message finds you well. As your constituent, I express my deep concern regarding implementing Act 18, the Clean Heat Standard. The specifics of this act present significant hardships for many Vermonters, particularly those in economically vulnerable positions, and we must address this issue promptly.

Act 18 introduces severe restrictions on natural gas and imposes a tax on home heating oil. These changes threaten to increase living costs significantly for countless Vermont residents, disproportionately affecting our least fortunate neighbors.

Governor Phil Scott recognized these repercussions and vetoed the bill. However, a marginal single-vote majority in the Senate overrode it. In November 2024, the electorate made it overwhelmingly clear they wanted Act 18 repealed. Despite the public's strong opposition, the current majority is trying to stifle this bill.

Please consider Act 18's broader impact as we approach this crucial vote. The economic burden on families will be substantial, affecting their ability to heat their homes during our harsh winters without financial distress. Furthermore, as similar bills are being considered nationwide, our approach to this policy could be a pivotal lesson for other states, making it even more important to consider the implications of this legislation carefully.

We are at a juncture where your leadership and voice could steer the course toward a more balanced and considerate approach. I implore you to oppose Act 18 and advocate for solutions that protect our environment and the economic interests of all Vermonters. Let us ensure our policies reflect our commitment to sustainability without losing sight of our community's immediate needs.

Thank you for reading this email. I trust that you, as our elected representative, will make a decision that best reflects the values and needs of your constituents. Your role in this decision is crucial, and I am confident that you will act in the best interest of Vermonters.

Sincerely,
I hope this message finds you well. As your constituent, I express my deep concern regarding implementing Act 18, the Clean Heat Standard. The specifics of this act present significant hardships for many Vermonters, particularly those in economically vulnerable positions, and we must address this issue promptly.
