About

Energy Alabama is a nonprofit membership-based organization advocating for clean energy.

Energy Alabama’s Pillars of Impact

Education

Our education efforts are focused on developing and inspiring tomorrow’s leaders through hands-on, interactive sustainable-energy educational activities. Our goal is to improve Alabama’s overall student achievement results in STEM-energy through the implementation of energy education in Alabama K-12 school systems.

Advocacy

Our advocacy efforts are focused on making it easier and more equitable to save energy and install renewable energy. Today many policies and laws block the deployment of sustainable energy in our great state. We think that is wrong. And we intend to change it. People have a right to make improvements to their property and should have a choice about where their energy comes from.

OUR VALUES

Energy Alabama

We place three values at the core of every decision we make, and every issue we engage. They are:

Alabama sordid past is rife with inequity. The mere mention of the state’s name outside Alabama projects images of racial tension and poverty. We are acutely aware of the challenges unique to Alabama and much of South with respect to any policy change. Any change in energy policy must be rooted in improving economic, social, and environmental benefits for all Alabamians.
Alabama is a conservative state with deeply held beliefs that the market can solve social and economic problems. We agree and intend to use the power of the market both to negotiate our positions and also to scale the solutions. We do, however, recognize that the market cannot solve all societal ills and must be properly regulated.
Alabama’s perennial struggle is one of poverty. Sustainability, while traditionally only referred to in an environmental sense, means much more. Truly sustainable policy changes also improve family conditions, public health, and economic development. Any change in energy policy must improve the economic, social, and environmental positions for all Alabamians and the policy itself must be sustainable.

Air pollution is the single greatest environmental risk for premature death in the world, contributing to over 5 million deaths every year. Exposure to pollution can trigger numerous health problems including chest pain, coughing, throat irritation, and congestion. Certain pollutants have been linked to increased risk of lung disease, heart disease, cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Sustainable energy is energy that meets the needs of the present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable energy is about finding clean, renewable sources of energy—sources that renew themselves, rather than sources that can be depleted.
The answer is, YES! An unlimited supply of energy shines down on the entire state every day, but we’re not taking advantage of it.

Energy Alabama’s revenue comes from its members, grants, foundations, donors, and its online store. We do not accept any funding from utilities.
