ensure Virginia’s economy is built on energy efficiency, solar power & smart storage solutions
 

I think the Commonwealth should

  • Eliminate barriers to customer-owned &  third-party financed solar power?
  • Encourage customer-owned battery storage?
  • Develop pumped hydroelectric storage facilities to store wind and solar power -- NOT fossil fuel generation -- and construct them on brownfields, not greenfields?
  • Require utilities and regulators to work harder to reduce retail electricity consumption by a minimum of 10% by 2020?
  • Place a moratorium on new fracked gas pipelines?
  • Eliminate the $20 million mining pool bond cap, so that funds will be there to clean up land previously mined for coal.?
