Please consider the following while developing the Virginia Energy Plan.
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.?
