No logical responsible leader would withdraw from the RGGI. Governor Youngkin and the  fossil fuel industry are using the same merchants of doubt and techniques to get voters to ignore the perils of climate change that the tobacco companies did a generation ago to keep smokers smoking and denying it causes lung cancer.   We need not argue the science here; it’s already decided:

Man-made climate change is real. There is no downside-even for deniers-to accepting climate change as a fact and taking steps to prepare for it.

Accepting climate change and taking action to mitigate it essentially means reducing carbon emissions and preparing the infrastructure for more intense storms and a more severe climate. The RGGI does this. This creates good, high tech jobs here at home, produces products we can export, and lowers the operating costs for our homes, our industries, our schools, and our government. We will live in a cleaner, safer environment.  We will be more energy independent and less reliant on Middle East oil.

Why would Governor Youngkin withdraw from something so important, effective and necessary. Don't do it.
