Obviously the reporter wasn't very concerned about accuracy on those other points, was he wrong to generalize VCN's reaction?<BR/><BR/>I'll definitely be doing a follow up post, if you put out a full statement, please send me the link!The Green Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03465981178255092017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-36226204084915862822007-09-13T11:41:00.000-04:002007-09-13T11:41:00.000-04:00Miles:Thanks for tracking this important issue.

Your point that that reporters should have described the greenhouse-gas reduction target as a return 2000 levels (or a 30% cut <I>off projected growth</I>) is a central distinction. But...why knock Virginia Conservation Network? I stand by my quote, but I didn't claimed to "like" or "praise" the entire plan. Instead, VCN welcomed the greenhouse reduction target as a "significant first step." Hopefully many more will follow--especially if you and your readers continue to let lawmakers know that you're watching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-54058938520840087472007-09-13T09:55:00.000-04:002007-09-13T09:55:00.000-04:00Thanks for the synthesis of the Govs energy plan. ...Thanks for the synthesis of the Govs energy plan.
