Retain RGGI
 

We must stay in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Localities receive money from RGGI to mitigate flood damage and other effects of global warning.

Virginia also uses RGGI money to reduce energy usage and utility bills for low income folks.

Virginia must remain in RGGI, which is a cost effective program based on sound, science based policy.
