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

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.
PHONES NEED TO BE RINGING:
