Woke up in a panic to my alarm midway through a dream where I had a talking chihuahua in New York City. Anyway!

Reply to comment by t-flex4 in Dominion asks to reinstate surcharge for Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, boosting bills by VCUBNFO
I have a Master of Science in energy policy and I am acutely aware of this dynamic. Our gas plants don’t come offline until 2045 and we are nowhere close to needing additional baseload. Investing in deploying SMRs while in the R&D stage makes no sense. Maybe in 15-20 years.

The SCC’s hands are completely tied because decades of legislation sponsored by Dominion have declared various projects “in the public interest.” In fact, we know exactly what we are building over the next 9 years - 5.6 GW of wind and 16.1 GW of solar (plus like 1.2 battery storage or something). While I personally supported the legislation that led to this, the SCC is forced to approve this amt of new development.
Now Dominion is also trying to force the SCC to approve small modular reactors, which are fantastically expensive and pretty much still in the R&D phase (which there is plenty of federal money to do). Not to mention wildly unnecessary considering how much generation potential we are in the throes of building. Tell your legislator to vote no on HB2333 and HB2197.

This is lame and we should prevent utilities from passing through costs like these. But the other intent of RGGI is to fund programs like flood resilience, weatherization, and energy efficiency. All kinds of data out there showing the return on investment is (generally) much higher than the cost. That said yes fuck Dominion.

I think Joe’s food being mediocre is pretty widely accepted. People go for the vibe and the huge portions.

Hence why I didn’t vote for the amendment. But most analysts consider our maps balanced.

This seat was drawn by the Supreme Court of Virginia. Our state is not actually partisan gerrymandered right now, and the map is considered to be pretty fair. Not that I voted for the constitutional amendment that got us to this.

I have worked directly with McClellan and I can tell you she is an excellent public servant and I don’t think this scheming implication is deserved.
