Sierra Club of Virginia Speaks Out
The Sierra Club of Virginia plays a proactive role in partnership with VA solar businesses in seeking to remove barriers to solar in VA. The Virginia Chapter of the Sierra Club is 17,000 members strong. The Sierra Club members are your friends and neighbors working to build healthy, livable communities, and to conserve and restore our natural environment.
An article in the Washington Post, written by Ivy Main, vice chair of the Virginia Chapter of the Sierra Club, provides a clear perspective on Dominion’s wind and solar energy policies.

Every day, dozens of volunteers are taking action with the Sierra Club in Virginia. From passing out compact fluorescent light bulbs, to speaking out for a cleaner environment, to exploring every nook and cranny of our beautiful Commonwealth, we think globally and act locally. Our work makes a difference in ensuring that we leave our children a living Virginia legacy — clean air, clean water, and natural grandeur.
