Let electricity customers go green

Dominion Virginia Power wants to sell more green power to customers willing to pay up. The State Corporation Commission should grant the request. If there are people who want to do the right thing for the environment, they should be able to.

This however, is but a small step toward what the commonwealth and the nation needs to do to reduce significantly its output of pollution that contributes to global warming and other environmental damage. The SCC itself needs to explain better what it finds acceptable after shooting down a "clean-coal" plant.

So we'll argue in an editorial on Monday.

Thanks for putting this out there - SO important.

A little leadership in Richmond (and DC) on this would help a lot.
