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 environment and out earth, it's our only Home!!!
