Virginia Senate and House Pass Landmark Clean Economy Act ([link removed] )
VA Clean Economy - AEE Blog-730 ([link removed] )
AEE applauded Virginia Senate and House leaders for passing SB 851/ HB 1526 the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA), bills that put the Commonwealth on a historic path for 100% clean energy by 2050 while saving customers money, and creating tens of thousands of jobs. The hard work of reconciling the two bills is underway. “The Virginia Clean Economy Act will move Virginia from the back of the pack to become a leader in the clean energy economy,” said Senator Jennifer McClellan. “Today, Virginia took a major step forward towards a 100% clean energy standard that will grow thousands of jobs, keep power costs low, and protect our communities from the damaging impacts of climate change. We must act now to grow clean energy jobs and protect the future for our children.” Click here to continue reading the press release.> ([link removed] )

Why the Indiana Legislature Should Reject Bill to Save Coal ([link removed] )
Indiana Coal Boxing-730 ([link removed] )
As the Indiana General Assembly passed the halfway mark of its session last week, the question of whether to offer a lifeline to costly coal plants came to the forefront for the second year in a row. Last year, the advanced energy industry claimed victory as the House rejected a proposal that would have placed a 20-month moratorium on Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) action on any matter involving more than 250 MW of generating capacity. This proposal would have locked in Indiana’s coal-fired generation for nearly two years and prevented Indiana’s utilities from pursuing their plans for advanced energy investment. Unsurprisingly, coal interests came back to the legislature this year looking for protection again. Despite rejecting the moratorium last year, a new proposal to require IURC approval before a utility can retire a coal plant was approved by the Indiana House. Now moving to the Senate, this bill is threatening to slow Indiana’s transition to investment in advanced energy. Here are the top five reasons the legislature should act to defeat this proposal: Click here to continue reading the blog post.> ([link removed] )
