Virginia Energy Plan
 

Dear Governor Northam,

We Virginians want energy policies that work for the customer: policies that encourage conservation, zero-emission electricity production, and lower customer bills.

  • Eliminate barriers to customer-owned and third-party financed solar power?
  • Encourage customer-owned battery storage?
  • Develop pumped hydroelectric storage facilities to store wind and solar power -- NOT fossil fuel generation -- and construct them on brownfields, not greenfields?
  • Require utilities and regulators to work harder to reduce retail electricity consumption 10% by 2020?
  • Place a moratorium on new fracked gas pipelines because existing infrastructure can already meet our energy needs?
  • Eliminate the $20 million mining pool bond cap, so that funds will be there to clean up land previously mined for coal.?

Virginians want energy policies that work for the customer: policies that encourage conservation, zero-emission electricity production, and lower customer bills.

We need to replace an outdated, fossil-fuel based economy with a sustainable, clean energy economy. This will create jobs and keep us in step with the rest of the world.

Thank you!
