Mile Long Petition to Dominion

Citizens Energy Plan | Mile-Long Petition For Smart Energy Solutions | Mountain Top Removal | Materials | Take Action and Get Involved!

Dominion needs to invest in smart energy solutions, not continue down the path of an outdated dirty energy plan. Dominion’s plans to build more coal-fired Wise Energy For VA Coalition power plants will accelerate global warming, mountain top removal mining, the construction of new transmission lines, and the poisoning of our air and water. Every day, Dominion’s ‘business as usual’ means another mountain is blown up and another community is destroyed in Southwest Virginia.

Working with our coalition partners SAMS, Appalachian Voices, CCAN, and SELC, we are working to assemble a mile long petition to Dominion's CEO Tom Farrell and the Board of Directors, which we shall present early next spring asking them them to stop building the Wise County Power Plant. The coalition asks them to, instead, turn all their energies toward smart energy solutions that do not pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink, or the fish we eat; nor contribute to one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. We need your help to assemble this petition. It is going to take everyone signing this petition, and then going to his or her neighbors for their signatures. The Sierra Club will be organizing efforts to get signatures, as will our coalition partners. That does not mean that you should wait for us.
