As Virginians, we appreciate the initiative taken by Governor McAuliffe, but we know our work does not stop here. We request that the Department of Environmental Quality use its authority to:
1. Create a rule — based on the strongest available science — that significantly reduces carbon pollution from Virginia’s power plants.
2. Ensure that Virginians — not utilities — benefit from any profits from carbon regulations.
3. Address the disproportionate environmental effects experienced by our most vulnerable communities.
4. Reduce carbon pollution by incentivizing investments in zero-carbon solar, wind and energy efficiency.
Please! Protect our lands and waters from corparations who are only interested in making money by destroying our planet. It is not theirs to waste.
Thank
