Coalition Partners

Wise Energy for Virginia is a growing coalition of national, regional and local organizations committed to securing a clean energy future for Virginia. In 2007 Appalachian Voices, the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, the Sierra Club’s Virginia Chapter, and the Southern Environmental Law Center joined the Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards to support its fight against a proposed coal-burning plant in Wise County, Virginia and raise awareness of the benefits of clean and efficient energy. The coalition has since partnered with other organizations including the Virginia Climate Action Network, a statewide student coalition, and the faith-based Greater Washington Interfaith Power and Light.
