As a Virginian, I appreciate the initiative taken by Governor McAuliffe, but I know our work
does not stop here. We request that the Department of Environmental Quality uses its 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.
Thank you for allowing public comments and considering our opinions.
