 Old Dominion Electric Cooperative is proposing a massive new coal plant near Surry, Virginia, that will release millions of tons of new global warming pollution into our atmosphere. Plans are still in the conceptual stage and that is where it must end.
ODEC's plans call for as much as 1500 megawatt capacity. Compare that to the 585 megawatt Wise County Coal Plant which will release 5.4 million tons of CO2 emissions and we're talking one helluva stinker right here in our Hampton Roads backyard! Perhaps as much as a 10 million tons a year of a stinker!
Join us (Sierra Club, Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Appalachian Voices) at our first organizing meeting for the Hampton Roads area and help us plan our next steps in fighting the Surry Coal Plant.
When: Tomorrow, Saturday, January 31, 2009, 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Where: Community Room, James City County Library, 7770 Croaker Rd. (3/4 mile on the left from exit 231-A off Interstate 64), Williamsburg, VA |
