Investors fled as Dominion stock plummeted from $82,12 to $40.23 per share.

The Dominion Energy offshore wind project is the largest, riskiest, and costliest public works project ever undertaken in Virginia history.
Dominion proposes to build a huge amount of wind and solar generating capacity, together with retiring all of its fossil fueled generators, with almost none of the enormous storage capacity that is required to make the renewables viable.
