To the Editor:
In Sen. Adam Ebbin's recent commentary on the General Assembly session (“Governor’s First Vetoes and Ongoing Supreme Court Battle,” March 9), he concluded that Governor McAuliffe was right to veto legislation (SB21) that attacked the state's implementation of the Clean Power Plan.
We concur! We applaud Governor McAuliffe for his commitment to implementing the Clean Power Plan in Virginia and thank the legislators who voted against this effort. Moving forward with a state plan means progress for renewable energy, lower electric bills through energy efficiency and tackling Virginia's global warming pollution. Now it is important that the Governor drafts a bold plan that limits carbon emissions from all of Virginia's power plants and puts us on the path to 100 percent renewable energy.
