We should not withdraw from RGGI. It has provided critical resources for many sustainability projects across the state. With climate change becoming more of a threat with each year, action is critical and there does not appear to be a strong alterative funding strategy proposed or in place. While proponents of withdrawal point to the financial burden placed indirectly through utility costs, the very people they allege to care about are the ones least able to recover should their homes and communities be damaged due to climate change.
