Solar for All is under attack. This $7B program is meant to cut household bills by $400 a year and expand clean energy access for nearly 1M families.

The EPA is trying to cancel it — threatening affordability and equitable access nationwide. We joined partners in sending letters to Attorneys General in 21 states – including AZ, CA, FL, MI, NY, and NC – urging them to fight back. But every state is at risk. Families everywhere need affordable, clean energy. Read the letters and take action here: https://t.co/0heU10RpT7

After previously claiming an independent monitor reviewed its Chesterfield gas plant bidding process, Dominion now admits an outside audit never took place. At a time when electric bills are skyrocketing, Virginians deserve a fair, transparent energy process. @CPaullinVA @insideclimate https://t.co/mlTgenUOkM

5️⃣ years ago today, community opposition forced #DominionEnergy & #DukeEnergy to cancel their plans to build the #AtlanticCoastPipeline. On 7/5, we celebrate the community members, activists, & organizations that fought to defeat the 600-mile ACP! https://t.co/TTIHwixOLl

Shout out to Virginia leaders who passed the Virginia Clean Economy Act 5 years ago and doubled down on a clean energy future! 🙌 You knew that cutting carbon would boost jobs, health, AND savings. We’re seeing it happen. Now let’s finish what we started. https://t.co/W8NsRtFRJx

It’s been 5 years since the VCEA when into effect. Since then the energy needs have exploded, lawmakers struggle to pass bills to strengthen the law, and federal funding is up in the air. But some believe the state is still on track #valeg #vapol #vagov

Today, we’re celebrating five years of the Virginia Clean Economy Act. Since its passage, Virginians have gotten a glimpse of what a cleaner energy future can look like, and how it leads to cleaner air and water for all communities in the Commonwealth.

[Virginia Conservation Network @VCNVAorg]

We're celebrating 5 years of cleaner air, job growth, fuel savings, and energy freedom ⚡️🇺🇸🥳

Passed in 2020, the Virginia Clean Economy Act is helping us kick fossil fuels to the curb by 2045. Even better? It’s already working. https://t.co/lyKLCd08Gv
