Today, CCANers from all over Virginia visited the Capitol to express frustration, disappointment, and even outrage at all the ways our renewable portfolio standard has been weakened during this legislative session.

 

 

 

 

Without developing large scale wind or solar, Virginia utilities can now earn their RPS bonuses more easily than ever before, which represents a defeat for Virginia consumers and further delays our progress toward real renewable energy. But we can say we were on the scene to visit legislative offices, thank our champions, and share our concerns with the opponents of a strong RPS.

If every picture tells a story, these candid shots show our volunteers braving wet weather for an action on Capitol Square and having a pizza-fueled strategy brainstorming session at the local CCAN office. Thanks for you enthusiasm and dedication, CCAN volunteers!
