Virginia Can Lead the Way for Clean Energy
 

Thank you for the opportunity to provide input for the Clean Energy Initiative. Our state can lead the way by encouraging the use of Solar Power by individuals, corporations and government entities. We have 99 counties that can work towards powering themselves so none of us have to depend on a single source (monopoly) of energy. It would be healthy to be diverse. Solar gives us all a way to do that across the state. Additionally, each county can generate energy from their landfills and produce their own methane gas plant.

My other concern is superfulous, destructive and questionable pipeline construction. Please place a moratorium on new fracked gas pipelines because existing infrastructure can already meet our energy needs!
