The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative ensures people's health and Virginians' communities come before polluters' profits.

Virginia gave away 1.9 billion in tax breaks to data centers last year. Yet, we continue to see our electric bills increase due to the power demand from big tech. Virginians' families deserve better.

RGGI is a common-sense pollution reduction program that makes Virginia more resilient. This is a huge win!

The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative is a common-sense program that makes polluters pay for over-polluting and funneling that revenue to communities in Virginia that need it most.

Instead, PJM continues to uphold market structures that favor pricey fossil fuels and stick everyday customers with Big Tech’s power bills.

Kicking off the spooky season with some scary news.

Trump is selling out our health and our lands for Coal.

Well this one is a thinker. A Big Tech developer is suing a public official for …

*checks notes*

Engaging with her constituents.

It’s almost as if Big Tech cares more about their data centers than they do about Democracy 🤔

‼️ NEW: A new Sierra Club report shows that U.S. utilities are doubling down on expensive fossil fuels instead of investing in affordable, clean energy. Is your utility making you pay for pricey, dirty energy?

Turns out, everyday people can take on big tech -- and win. We were proud to support residents of Charles City county in their fight to protect more than 200 homes from a massive data center project. No amount of revenue from big tech is worth sacrificing our communities.

[Sierra Club Virginia Chapter @vasierraclub]

@ChelseaWiseRVA Back at ya! We’re just glad this issue getting more attention

[Sierra Club Virginia Chapter @vasierraclub]

@ChelseaWiseRVA Here’s some of the communities concerns https://t.co/OtqTfgBHrh

[Sierra Club Virginia Chapter @vasierraclub]

@ChelseaWiseRVA We work with local communities, mostly in rural areas lately. We supported a group in Chesapeake that defeated one. Focused now on stopping a massive AI center in Charles City County that will be less than 300 feet from 100+ homes, many generational families.
