Repeal the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA)

not just solar but offshore wind project in path of WHALES

Massive Wind Project May Endanger Right Whales

Under VCEA mandates, Dominion Energy has applied to build 176 wind turbines, each designed to generate 14.7 megawatts, taking up an area approximately 10 by 15 miles square—equal to the size of 85,000 football fields—located 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach. Each turbine would sit atop a monopole going down a minimum of 80 feet into the water and about 120 feet into the ocean floor, while its height above the water would exceed 620 feet; higher than the Washington Monument, which is 555 feet high.

In The Migration Path Of This Endangered Species

Despite supposed protection afforded the whales by various federal laws, such as the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which forbid activities that harm or force the whales from their critical habitat, if Virginia Democrats and Dominion Energy have their way, the North American Right Whale (NARW) could soon be no more. There are only around 300 individual right whales in existence. Yet, at the expense of rate payers and tax payers, Dominion energy has proposed erecting its Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project directly in the annual migration path of the NARWs.

Whales are sensitive to, and navigate by, sound. The subsea infrasound and vibrations generated by the turbines are virtually guaranteed to force the few remaining NARWs out of their critical migration corridors and into one of the busiest shipping corridors in the world. This would make a bad situation worse because ship collisions are already the largest single cause of NARW mortality. Even if the whales are somehow able to adapt to and tolerate the sound, the undersea monopoles would present new navigation hazards for them.

How Can You Help!

First, sign our petition to Repeal VCEA HERE

Second, read and sign up to receive our Blog postings on the latest news regarding the industrial solar destruction going on in the Commonwealth and how we are winning some of the battles. You can find the information HERE.

And finally, please support our efforts with a donation HERE. We are working every day to roll back the destruction of our farm land, waterways and forests by the "Not Green" progressive Democrats. There are many ways to generate electricity while still preserving and conserving the beauty of Virginia. Thank you for your support!

HOUSE REPUBLICANS SUPPORT REPEALING VCEA

GOP Leaders Across Virginia Want VCEA Stopped!

"We need an electrical grid which is stable, and we absolutely have to change direction. We must change direction from the clean energy plan that has passed, ..... because it is not doable, affordable, or good for Virginia"

- Glenn Youngkin, Virginia's 74th Governor

“These things will not be built, Mr. Chairman, in Reston. They won’t be built where our Democratic colleagues live. They’ll be built out here in rural areas and with untold consequences. It’s going to completely transform the character of places that we know and love. And I’m not sure that we have fully thought through the ramifications of these policies.”

- Todd Gilbert, Speaker of the House of Delegates

Governor Glenn Youngkin, Lt. Governor Winsome Sears, Attorney General Jason Miyares and the House of Delegates Republican Majority know that the Virginia Clean Economy Act is a dangerous law implemented by the Democrats which has forced Virginia to be totally dependent on wind and solar energy generation. Former Governors Terry McAuliffe and Ralph Northam plus their solar industry cronies, are deforesting Virginia for their profit and will force every consumer to pay an additional $800 per year in electricity. Read about how the McAuliffe and Northam "solar sell out" was set up here and here.

Plus as eleven Virginia business associations agree, manufacturers will be paying more for energy which means YOU will be paying more for goods and services!

In the 2022 Legislative Session, Del Nick Freitas introduced a bill to Repeal VCEA and it passed the House of Delegates to then die in the Democrat controlled State Senate. In 2023, we will try again but most importantly will be taking control of the State Senate in the November 2023 Elections!
