Energy Efficiency Lobby in VA!
Jan 14th, 2009 by admin
from SAMS and the Wise Energy for Virginia Coalition
Last Thursday, we released the findings of an important report that compares the economic effects of building the Wise County coal plant with investing in energy efficiency.
The study demonstrates that when it comes to saving Virginians money (not to mention saving our environment), energy efficiency is far more cost effective than coal.
By not constructing the Wise County coal plant and instead investing in efficiency, Virginia could save the average household in Dominion’s service territory between $52 and $91 per year in 2012.

You may have heard about the report in the news. Now we need to make sure that every elected official in Virginia learns the facts about energy efficiency.
That’s why we’re asking you and thousands of other supporters of Wise Energy for Virginia to take just a moment to tell your elected officials to support energy efficiency.
Can you take action today, and make your voice heard on an issue of paramount importance to the future of Virginia?
In addition to emailing your representatives in Richmond, you can play a critical role in securing energy efficiency for Virginia by speaking with them in person.
That’s why we’re holding our Energy Efficiency Lobbying Day in Richmond this Monday, January 19th -sponsored by the Virginia Conservation Network.
You don’t have to be an expert on efficiency, and you don’t have to have lobbied before in order to participate.
We’ll be holding trainings on the 19th as well as on Sunday the 18th in Richmond — and we can even help get you up to speed over the phone.
Click here to sign up for the Energy Efficiency Lobbying Day on January 19th with the Virginia Conservation Network.
Thank you for taking action to support a clean energy future for Virginia.
