All across the country coal plants are being rejected. Yet somehow in Virginia we are building a new coal fired plant in Wise County and proposing a plant three times the size in the Hampton Roads area.
During the presidential campaign, both candidates invested a lot of time and energy to make phone calls in to key swing states to influence critical votes to win the election. This is a GREAT strategy to win.
In our campaign to stop this proposed plant, we have critical votes just like swing state votes. Right now, Virginians living in electric cooperatives served by Old Dominion Electric Coop have a unique voice in this fight. Tomorrow night we will start calling these folks to educate them on why this coal plant is a bad investment and get them to take action!
We will be meeting tomorrow at the St Charles Borromeo Parish in Arlington, near the Clarendon Metro stop for our first volunteer night to stop coal. The details are below, and I hope that you can join us.
