Let's clear the air in Virginia by supporting Clean Smokestacks legislation that will clean up the old, under-controlled power plants across the Commonwealth. 

Tell your legislator to fight for clean air, to stand up for our most vulnerable populations affected by air pollution, infants and children, the elderly and those living with lung and heart disease by supporting House Bill 1472, the Virginia Clean Smokestacks Act.  Introduced by Delegate Jack Reid the legislation will reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 88% and nitrogen oxide emissions by 75% based on 2001 emission levels by 2015.  The legislation will also require mercury emission reductions of 90% by 2008.  The proposal will allow utilities to recover the costs associated with the cleanup and retire any emission allowances created through these reductions that could be traded between states. 

We encourage you to take action by February 18, 2004.

Sincerely,
American Lung Association of Virginia Legislative Action Network
