DO NOT ABONDON THE RGGI
 

Gov. Youngkin, instead of abandoning the RGGI.  Embrace it, and make it better by inviting innovative, productive and progressive ideas to the real world of climate change.  You should look at RGGI as a steppingstone to something better and more efficient.  Yes, solar farms take up agricultural land, (But the landowners sure don't mind selling their property).  Wind farms stand out and really do not look that pretty.  But unless you are "wearing blinders!" Climate change is real.  In private, you are a successful businessman.  I am sure that success came with hard work, "innovative technologies, ideas, and identifying processes that could be turned into opportunities!" Instead of just identifying an initiative as problem that needs to go because it not on the parties Best Hit List.  Why not use that business mind of yours, turn this into opportunity, and bring options that would make you, as Govenor, a success, and make our state the leader in climate change.  You have the resources.... with some of the best schools, young minds in the country. be a patriot for your party and a leader for this state.
