Kiggans: “Despite What The Media Would Have You Believe, There Are Conservatives Out There Who Are Mindful Of Our Environment While Practicing Responsible Spending And Consideration Of Cost.” “It was an honor to receive an award tonight from Conservatives for Clean Energy recognizing my work in the Virginia Senate to consider alternative energy sources while keeping costs down for consumers. Despite what the media would have you believe, there are conservatives out there who are mindful of our environment while practicing responsible spending and consideration of cost. Thank you for the recognition and congratulations to Virginia Delegate Tony Wilt on his award in the House! #ConservativesCareToo #SenateAward #HamptonRoadsGOPGirls” [Facebook, Senator Jen Kiggans, 1/19/22]

Kiggans’ Issue Page Stated She Was “A Supporter Of Sustainable And Renewable Energy Such As Wind And Solar Power.” “Virginia Beach is now home to two offshore wind power turbines. Jen is a supporter of sustainable and renewable energy such as wind and solar power and will promote the exploration of other common sense alternative power sources.” [Jen Kiggans for VA Senate, Issues, accessed 4/8/21]

Kiggans Said Supported Offshore Wind Energy Development. “Virginia is now investing in another project that will have generational benefits for both of our districts: offshore wind development. We support this clean energy and job growth investment because we recognize the immense environmental and economic gains it will bring to Virginia for years to come. It’s rare these days to find an issue that brings all Virginians together, regardless of party or geography, but offshore wind certainly does.” [Richmond Times-Dispatch, Jen Kiggans And Terry Kilgore, 10/2/21]

Kiggans Claimed She Would Support Clean Energy Projects And Supported Virginia’s Economy And Environment. “We are proud to stand in support of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind pilot and commercial projects, as well as future clean energy projects that support Virginia’s economy and environment. Offshore wind is a win-win for all Virginians, including those living along Route 58 and throughout the state.” [Richmond Times-Dispatch, Jen Kiggans And Terry Kilgore, 10/2/21]
