we know that producing and transporting
energy affects the natural world. Your company already is an industry leader and aims
to further minimize our impact on the environment at all times.
Our approach to protecting natural resources draws on many tools.
One tool is to build cleaner generation by harnessing nuclear energy and wind to
produce emissions-free electricity. Another is helping customers to reduce their energy
demand. Yet another is funding technology research and development to separate
and capture carbon dioxide—what scientists cite as the principal culprit of global
warming—at Dominion’s coal-fired power stations.
We believe our focus on nuclear and renewable energy, conservation and carbon
capture technology will reduce our environmental footprint and contribute to a cleaner,
greener Planet Earth.
