So what does it take to get there?
Need some combination of:• Competitive production costs
• Incentives
• RPS
• Limits on carbon
• Price on carbon, pollution, or other externalities

Virginia legislation
• 2010: Virginia Offshore Wind Development Authority
• Coordinates data-gathering, supply chain, works with local governments
• 2011: Joint Resolution supporting 3000 MW of offshore wind by 2025
• Aspirational only, no carrots and no sticks
2012: RPS further weakened

What is the Sierra Club doing?
We advocate:
• a real RPS
• including externalities in the IRP process
• continuing funding for VCERC
• incentives for offshore wind investment and turbine manufacturing
• removing the $45 million of coal subsidies
