Defeating Electrification - A New Challenge
Our Industry Has Faced Threats Before - But Nothing Like What’s Coming Now
As marketers, you cope with threats to your business every day, year-in and year-out, from operational issues, the weather, prices and local competition. For broader statewide and national political-regulatory threats, you rely on your association to fight on your behalf. And we’ve been doing that since we were founded in 1950 as the Connecticut Petroleum Association.
And looking back over the years at the “balance sheet” of CEMA’s successes, your trust in us has been well justified. But now we’re asking you to trust us again when we say there’s a new threat different from any we’ve faced before, and that we will need a new level of support from our members.

The first tab gives a brief history of how our industry has faced threats before, and how the current threat is different from past ones.
The second tab outlines starkly what our current challenge is.
The third tab is our challenge to you to support our proposed efforts - showing list of donors and donations to date

2024 Legislative Success!
During the regular session of the CT General Assembly that ended on May 8, every environmental and energy bill injurious to our members failed to pass, and CEMA, thanks to the generous contributions of our members, either had a hand in defeating every bill or was the leader in defeating them. These bills included:
Environmental/Energy Bill Concepts killed this year: All Died
Declaration of a Climate Crisis
Installation of 310,000 Heat Pumps
Price Gouging
Banning the Sale of Diesel Trucks and Gasoline Powered Cars/EV Mandate
Electrifying all State-Owned Buildings
Collect Data of Heating Oil and Propane Use by Customer
Move to Net Zero Emissions by 2050
Create a Clean Energy Council to Coordinate Clean Energy Deployment and Climate Mitigation Programs
Develop a Plan to Transition Fossil Fuels Workers to Clean Energy Economy Jobs
Increase Electric Battery Storage by 1,000 Megawatts
Increase Efficiency Standards for Appliances
Expand Residential Energy Storage System Deployment
Expand Natural Gas Capacity
