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.
Never in favor of a company or government taking land and feeling they have the "right" to trespass and take what they want. Also, never in favor of placing our water in danger of contamination and disruption as installing these pipelines will do. Yes, people need fuels... but we do need to take care of our land, water, and the plants as well as animals (humans included..) sustain all.
