After reviewing the charts, pie graphs,and reasons presented here in order to validate the concept of considerably higher utility bills for all Virginians, I greatly support Youngkin’s order to remove Virginia from these regulations. I read nothing that convinced me that taking extra money from my meager Social Security check will make any difference in the effect of global warming or climate change on the world stage. The CO2 emissions from Virginia are inconsequential compared to the emissions from a world where the entire US emissions are minuscule compared to that of other countries who contribute nothing. Any profit from the piled on taxes that all Virginians would be forced to pay would simply be reinvested into more climate actions. I know that climate change and global warming are real,but I don’t know that these actions are detrimental to the earth or to our being. Both these events have been players in our climate system since the beginning of time and we haven’t been destroyed yet. Scientists differ in their beliefs concerning the overall effects of climate changes to our existence and concerning to what negative extent CO2 emissions actually effect our environmental atmosphere. Some support the theory being pushed by non-scientific political radicals, while others don’t believe that the cyclic effects of climate change pose an imminent danger to all mankind. This has been an ongoing generational discussion among scientific communities that has just recently be labeled an imminent immediate threat to all mankind by some scientists and a handful of radical politicians with no knowledge of science. I also don’t feel that Virginians should be forced into being part of a very small word population to financially support decreasing CO2 emissions of an entire world population while I struggle to pay my monthly bills. This sudden renewed fear being exaggerated and induced by radical politicians with an agenda does not have me convinced that we will soon have complete destruction of the world unless a few states in the Eastern US pay exorbitant utility taxes. It sounds like advancing an unproven possible phenomenon as an excuse for more pork money to me.
