RGGI was implemented by actions of the Virginia legislature.  A Governor cannot repeal it.  Only the legislature could do that.

The wish to repeal RGGI is an ostrich-like maneuver: putting heads in the sand about the rapidly worsening effects of climate change everywhere on planet earth, including in Virginia. 

Wise use of the income from RGGI has cut greenhouse gas emissions meaningfully across all the states that have participated in the compact for longer than the single year Virginia has been a member.   Both the problem of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and the solutions that RGGI has funded in its participating states are very clear.  The mechanism of forcing the biggest carbon polluters to pay the most and the use of revenues to tackle climate symptoms like flooding are working well.  RGGI is a tool that works. 

Virginia must stay in RGGI.
