Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has signed Executive Order 43 outlining the commonwealth’s goals for promoting clean energy and combatting climate change and setting out objectives for statewide energy production. “These include powering 30% of the state’s electric system from renewable sources — such as wind and solar — by 2030 and 100% of its electric supply from carbon-free sources — which would include wind and solar as well as nuclear — by 2050.”
