Keep Virginia in the RGGI
 

Virginia should continue to participate in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative as a matter of law and policy. Thanks to RGGI, emissions from power plants have decreased, while Virginia has received over $5 million. Add to that amount the public health benefits from lowered air pollution and the funds for energy-efficient homes for low-income families and flood control measures. 

Count me as opposing repeal!
