We must stop investing in the use of fossil fuels, including development, infrastructure, and transport. Virginia absolutely must not waive environmental protections for land and water in any energy development, including industrial solar and wind. Virginia also must take advantage of any federal incentive programs to reduce energy consumption, including energy conservation programs that retrofit homes and businesses and encourage decentralized production (put solar arrays over parking lots, not where forests and agriculture were.
