Countdown to the Election: Why it Matters That Virginia’s New Governor Supports Renewable Energy

This election will be a deciding factor in whether Virginia takes a path toward a future with a focus on policies that support solar and other renewable energies or a path that supports fossil fuels. Our next governor will set the tone surrounding our energy policy, and, ultimately, has veto power.

It is imperative that we elect the candidate who understands how important advanced energy sources, such as solar, wind and other renewables, are now — and can be in the future — to individuals, companies, communities and the Commonwealth as a whole. Solar creates jobs, attracts businesses, allows for additional revenue streams for farmers and protects our energy grid.

Listen to our interview with Karen Schaufeld about why solar is important to Virginia here.

Remember to vote for better energy policy for the Commonwealth on Tuesday, November 7.
