Dominion is continuing to spend massive amounts of money on yesterday’s dirty energy, rather than invest in Smart Energy Solutions, Smokestack by Joe Gratz like energy efficiency and renewable energy that are good for consumers’ pocketbooks and protect our mountains and climate.

MORE POLLUTION: Dominion is Virginia’s biggest corporate polluter of both global warming and toxic mercury pollution. MORE MONEY INTO BAD IDEAS: Dominion’s Plan relies on more dirty, destructive coal and nuclear power plants, rather than significantly investing in Smart Energy Solutions, like energy efficiency, wind, tidal, solar, and geothermal.

MORE POWER LINES: Dominion invests very little in energy efficiency while planning to deface one of the most historic and protected landscapes in America with towers standing up to 16 stories tall and requiring a 50-200 foot wide right-of-way.

MORE DIRTY COAL: Spending about $1.6 billion on another dirty coal power plant in Southwest Virginia with:

400 more heavy and dangerous coal trucks a day going through small towns like St. Paul, VA
more mercury and global warming pollution,
increasing pressure for more mountain top removal, unknown changes to the precious Clinch River,
and more smog and acid rain causing pollution in our air.
