Dominion Energy vs Clean Power in Virginia

Hello Northern Virginians! 

The good folks at Sierra Club and Beyond Coal are holding a public even for all Northern Virginians who are interested in a clean-energy future. Dominion Viriginia Power is heavily dependent on coal to generate our electricity, and it is time to transition away from dirty, polluting fossil fuels like coal. Dominion needs to hear from all of us!

The Northern Virginia Green Party is in favor of Green Jobs and Renewable Energy as a way forward for our region and the country. We all deserve representation that moves us in this direction.

Dominion Beyond Coal Campaign Kickoff Meeting!
Tuesday, September 20th
7:00 – 8:00pm
2312 Mt. Vernon Avenue, Alexandria (next door to Dairy Godmother)
Upstairs in Suite #206
**Refreshments provided**
RSVP  at http://bit.ly/BeyondCoalVA

Virginia is at an energy crossroads. We are dependent on coal,  a dirty and dangerous source of energy. Coal power plants pollute our communities with deadly toxics that contribute to serious health problems,  like asthma and cancer,  and massive environmental damage. We all have the right to safe, healthy air and water.

Right now,  we have a chance to take the road to renewable energy and transition from coal to wind and solar. Dominion Virginia Power plans to phase out 2 of the dirtiest coal plants in Virginia,  which is great news, but the plan has no real commitment to clean energy.

Currently,  Dominion’s long-range energy plan is going before the State Corporation Commission for review and approval. This is our opportunity to demonstrate overwhelming public support for smart energy solutions: efficiency,  solar power, and offshore wind. These investments would create tens of thousands of local green jobs for Virginians.

We need your help to make sure they listen to ratepayers and protect our health and environment.

Come to the Dominion Beyond Coal Campaign Kickoff Meeting to learn more about clean energy how you can help! All are welcome so please bring your friends. Please RSVP at http://bit.ly/BeyondCoalVA.
