In case you are wondering why there are people dancing at Kanawha Plaza on a Sunday afternoon,
From the Virginia Sierra Club website:
WHEN: Sun., April 14 at 1 – 3 PM
WHERE: Kanawha Plaza, 7th & Canal Streets
Join us in sending a message to Dominion and the State Corporation Commission saying “No more dirty gas plants; it’s time to electric slide toward clean energy in VA!”
Dominion has proposed building another dirty fossil fuel plant, a fracked-fueled gas power plant in Brunswick County, while Virginia continues to slide behind in clean energy and climate protection.
In April the VA State Corporation Commission, our state’s energy regulators, will decide if Dominion can build this unnecessary gas plant, or instead require them to invest in safer, more reliable clean energy sources like wind, solar and energy efficiency first.
In other words, the Sierra Club will be advocating for higher energy costs while stunting the economy. Sounds like a winner.
Is the neighborhood of Oregon Hill a sponsor of the Sierra Club? How is this relevant to our neighborhood? What if hill residents dont agree with the polarizing views of the Sierra Club? Why is it promoted HERE?
Because I wanted it here. I did not see this news elsewhere on RVANews and this is happening close by.
Dominion Power headquarters is Oregon Hill’s neighbor (though we never asked for it), so it is of interest to many OH residents. By the way, where do you live?
What are you sponsoring, “James Tepe”?
