COOLING THE COMMONWEALTH

This plant will emit over 5.6 million tons of carbon dioxide every year and cost $1.6 billion (yes, billion!). Virginia needs to invest in clean renewable energy, not new coal! The coalition plan to present the utility with a mile-long petition at its 2008 shareholders meeting.

VIRGINIA IS AT RISK
Virginia is one of the most vulnerable states in the US to global warming. More global warming means more sea level rise, more heat related illness and death, more severe weather. With 3,300 miles of shoreline, Virginia is exceptionally vulnerable. There is a better way. More global warming will also wreak havoc on much of our regional wildlife.
