VIRGINIA?S CHANCE TO ADDRESS GLOBAL WARMING

IS NOW!
 

WHEN:     Monday, February 19, 11:00 -12:00 noon

WHERE:   Bell Tower, Capitol Square, Richmond

LOCATION: 

The Bell Tower is on State Capitol grounds, near the intersection of 9th and 
Franklin Streets in downtown Richmond

Action

WHAT:    Dominion Power is pushing an energy plan through the Virginia General 

         Assembly that would ?re-regulate? the electric utility industry.  
Their plan 

         would give rate increases to electric companies in exchange for the 

         construction of new coal-fired power plants.  The two bills, HB 3068 
and 

         SB 1416, do not address energy conservation and efficiency, and only 
provide 

         token incentives for renewable energy.

         If Dominion Power?s plan passes, your electric bills will go up, and 
electric

         companies will build more power plants which contribute to global 
warming.
