Just look at the energy industry’s track record for safety and environmental impact: mountaintop coal removal, fracking, offshore super-deep drilling, on and on.

I’m reminded of what the New York State Health Department Commissioner called Love Canal — “a national symbol of a failure to exercise a sense of concern for future generations.” Is that what we want in Virginia too?
