stay the course
 

Base your policy on the good of the all in the commonwealth for the long term, not on short term interests of the economic elite and fossil fuel lobby.

Moving away from fossil fuels is painful for everyone, but it can be mitigated by investing instead in money and jobs in alternate energy sources and investment in conservation.  Instead of protecting the rate payers by withdrawing from RGGI, protect the rate payers by helping the SCC to close the loopholes that allow utilities to gain profit at ratepayers expense! 

RGGI is the right direction.  Stay the course.
