Rising temperatures. Extreme weather. Mountain top removal. Mercury-contaminated seafood. And our governor and electric utilities are stuck in a 20th century mindset promoting fossil fuels.
What can a concerned Virginian like you do about it?
Join us for Virginia's first-ever, super-inspiring, history-making citizens' conference on offshore wind energy!
Offshore wind power is one of the commonwealth's best ways of fighting global warming and toxic pollution while creating good, local jobs and boosting our economy. We could get a huge share of our energy from ocean breezes in just a few short years. But we've got to work to make it happen.
At Energize Virginia: A Citizens' Summit on Offshore Wind Power, you'll meet wind power supporters from across the state. You'll hear visionary speakers like Terry McAuliffe. And most importantly, we’ll map out how we can work together to bring clean energy and good jobs to Virginia in a way that will transform the commonwealth... and maybe the world!
