5th District Councilperson Parker Agelasto has a guest column in today’s Times Dispatch newspaper that calls for citizens to support state and federal plans to reduce carbon pollution and produce more clean, renewable energy.

He concludes the column with this statement:

Moving from polluting fossil fuel energy to clean, renewable power will be a four-way win for Virginia: (1) more clean energy jobs, (2) lower electricity bills, (3) better public health and (4) combating climate change. For all these reasons, I strongly encourage our governor to speak out in support of the EPA’s Clean Power Plan, and to implement it as aggressively as possible.
