Today, meeting with the owner of residential solar energy company Continuum Energy Solutions, gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe discussed the need for Virginia to invest in energy efficiency. McAuliffe said he would work for a statewide policy requiring utilities to invest first in cost-effective energy efficiency before pursuing any new power plants.
"In our pursuit to make Virginia the number one green state in the country, we must remember that energy efficiency is the cheapest and easiest way for us to increase our energy independence and build our renewable energy sector," McAuliffe said. "Whether it's harnessing the wind off Virginia's coast or installing solar panels on homes and state buildings, we must encourage businesses and families to adopt clean and efficient energy sources."
