PFAS found a way to make sludge sound even less appealing.
Virginia's General Assembly has the chance to do something about it and we'll keep you updated @vadogwoodnews.
Virginians are turning out to vote in droves on Tuesday, including in Stafford County, which has traditionally been a red district. But Howard Rudat, Chairman of the Stafford Democratic Committee, believes that this may be the election that turns Stafford blue.
Virginia families are stressed by rising energy bills, and national data shows electricity is one of the most painful monthly expenses. Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger’s six-point plan taps into the reality of clean energy being local, reliable, and cost-competitive by focusing on local power generation, weatherization, affordability programs, and holding data centers accountable for their energy use.
Virginia voters spoke at the polls. They understand that renewables are unlimited, effective , and available close to home—and that could mean lower energy bills.

Everyone’s talking about data centers in Virginia.
US Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-Ashburn) says there’s a bigger question: What if the AI bubble bursts?
He broke it down at a town hall Thursday night, and the potential impact is…a lot.
Virginians are angry about data centers taking over their communities. State Del. JJ Singh explains why their anger is not that complicated.
Del. Don Scott has entered the chat 😂
Federal forecasts predict higher heating and electricity costs in Virginia this winter as natural gas prices continue to rise— and because gas generates much of the state’s power, these increases directly spill into electric bills. Under Commonwealth law, utility companies can recover fuel costs by adding them to customer bills, meaning gas price spikes are ultimately paid by residents.
While companies like Dominion continue proposing new gas plants that won’t be operational until 2030, state projections show clean energy is cheaper, faster to build, and could save the average household thousands over time.

Gov. Youngkin applied for $1 billion in federal funding to help Virginia's struggling rural hospitals. But the need for these funds are stems partly from Medicaid cuts that Youngkin himself supported, which stripped rural hospitals of much-needed funding—creating damage that this new reserve is unlikely to fully offset.
