@WAVY_News This is garbage. The Energy Innovation Center is a “green” propaganda outlet. It’s “modeling” is not peer reviewed. Any hack can “model” whatever result it wants.
@WAVY_News your post and on air piece on increased energy costs are lies. The Energy Innovation Center is a “green energy” propaganda outlet.
Shame on you.
🚨Abigail Spanberger unveiled her energy plan today… spoiler alert: it’s TERRIBLE. Here’s the rundown:
➡️The plan acknowledges that removing Virginia from RGGI, repealing VCEA, & ending the mandates would save ratepayers $127 BILLION
➡️The plan invents a totally bogus “social cost of carbon” statistic to make it look less expensive than it really is.
➡️Up to 277,000 acres of farms and forests will be converted to big, ugly solar arrays.
➡️The plan admits that Virginia must import 30 PERCENT of its energy from other states if it is implemented, adding even more costs for ratepayers.
➡️Under this plan, the projected average residential electricity bill will be $274/month by 2039.
BOTTOM LINE: Spanberger & Democrats’ plan will result in YOUR FAMILY paying more, not less.
This is not an “affordability” plan. It’s Virginia’s very own version of the Green New Scam that will make electricity - and everything else - more expensive.
