Energize Virginia: A Citizens' Summit on Offshore Wind Power June 4, 2011

Rising temperatures. Extreme weather. Mountain top removal. Mercury-contaminated seafood. And our governor and electric utilities are stuck in a 20th century mindset promoting fossil fuels.
What can a concerned Virginian like you do about it?
Join us for Virginia's first ever, super-inspiring, history-making citizens' conference on offshore wind energy!
Offshore wind power is one of the commonwealth's best ways of fighting global warming and toxic pollution while creating good, local jobs and boosting our economy. We could get a huge share of our energy from ocean breezes in just a few short years. But we've got to work to make it happen.
At Energize Virginia: A Citizens' Summit on Offshore Wind Energy, you'll meet energized activists from across the state. You'll hear visionaries like Terry McAuliffe speak about bringing clean energy and green jobs to our state. And most importantly, we’ll map out how we can work together to bring ocean-based wind turbines to Virginia in a way that will transform the commonwealth and maybe the world.
