Your Electricity Bill is Climbing Thanks to the Democrats
The Suburban Virginia Republican Coalition Political Action Committee (SUVGOP) announced its campaign to REPEAL VCEA, the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA), calling it “one of the most radical pieces of energy legislation in the United States”.
“In April 2020, the Democrat-controlled General Assembly passed, and Governor Northam signed into law, Virginia’s own version of the ‘Green New Deal’,” stated Terry Johnson, Senior Advisor to SUVGOP. “This falsely labeled law forces the State’s energy companies to clear cut Virginia’s forests and will negatively impact our economy by increasing electricity costs to every consumer and business in the Commonwealth.”
The law’s repercussions are already being felt. In the Integrated Resource Plan Dominion Energy submitted to the State Corporation Commission (SCC) in May 2020, Dominion estimated it would require 490 square miles of land for the solar panel farms needed to meet VCEA’s alternative energy sourcing goals. The Company will be forced to convert farmland and clear-cut Virginia forests in an area approximately 20 times the size of Manhattan or the equivalent of 237,000 football fields to make way for the solar farms.
On top of this environmental degradation, consumers will suffer. The SCC estimates that under the VCEA, the average consumer will pay an additional $67 per month or over $800 per year in increased electricity costs. The SCC projects that lower- and middle-income users will pay over 50% more for their energy.
