There is a better way to provide Virginians with energy that doesn't pollute our air and water, that doesn't destroy our mountains, and that doesn't contribute to global warming. Come to the town hall meeting to hear about the consequences of Virginia's reliance on coal, our clean energy future, and how you can be part of the solution.
Hear experts, politicians and activists talk about Virginia coal and clean energy. The talk is to be directly followed by a question and answer session to let you speak your mind about coal, global warming, and renewable energy.
