How to stop utility rate increases
How to get involved in fossil fuel free energy advocacy
Sane Energy Project’s mission is to replace fracked gas infrastructure with 100% democratically controlled, renewable energy in New York State. We build every campaign through a lens of racial, social, and ecological justice.
