I spent 40 years practicing energy regulatory law in Washington, D.C.  I counseled electric utility clients about RGGI's structure and potential market effects when it was being formulated in the Northeast, New York and other states before Virginia joined.  I am a professorial lecturer in energy law at George Washington University Law School.  I oppose Governor Youngkin's characterization of RGGI as well as his proposal to withdraw Virginia from that interstate compact.  My views are best articulated in my Letter to the Editor published in the October 12 print version of the Washington Post.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/10/11/rggis-benefits-are-greater-than-its-costs/
