Bill making Virginia completely reliable on renewable energy advances
https://wtop.com/virginia/2019/01/bill-making-virginia-completely-reliable-on-renewable-energy-advances/WASHINGTON — An aggressive bill that would make Virginia completely reliant on renewable energy for its electricity has advanced in the General Assembly with bipartisan support.
It was approved Tuesday in the House Commerce and Labor Committee on a split vote of 9-7.
Republican Del. Tim Hugo joined eight Democrats in voting for the bill. Five Republicans and two Democrats voted against the measure.
Six committee members — all Republicans — did not vote.
