The Virginia Energy Plan protects our existing climate policy, meets growing demand with the fastest, cleanest energy resources available, holds utilities accountable for affordable energy, ensures data centers pay their fair share of the costs associated with new energy demand, and centers the human impacts of carbon pollution.
Virginians cannot afford to put today’s clean energy solutions on hold. In an Op-Ed, VCN explains why we need to be all-in on offshore wind energy to cut household energy costs, grow our economy, and create jobs.
Virginia Conservation Network and our partners called on the Governor to use this plan to continue to map out Virginia’s clean energy future and meet our goal to be carbon-free by 2050. Instead, Youngkin’s plan seeks to undermine the Virginia Clean Economy Act, repeal our Clean Car Standards, and invest in unproven technologies.
