As a Virginian, I appreciate the initiative taken by Governor McAuliffe, but I know the work does not stop here. I request that the Department of Environmental Quality uses its full authority to:
- Create a rule — based on the strongest available science — that significantly reduces carbon pollution from Virginia's power plants.
- Ensure that Virginians — not utilities — benefit from any profits from carbon regulations.
- Address the disproportionate environmental effects experienced by our most vulnerable communities.
- Grow the economy and reduce carbon pollution by maximizing investments in zero-carbon wind, solar, and energy efficiency.
