Virginia Can exit the RGGI
 

Virginia needs remain commited to reducing CO2 emissions as mandated by the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), but it should do it through the modernization and expansion of our nuclear power capabilities.
The proceeds VA receives from RGGI auctions don't help reduce overall emissions if it allows other regions to pollute more.
Collectively, we can slow the potentially devastating impacts of climate change through safe, clean nuclear.
