Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) withdrawal
 

I strongly support Governor Glenn Youngkin’s decision to withdraw from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). I PERSONALLY have seen a $600 / year increase in my electric bill that Dominion with only a small increase in electricity consumption. The technologies needed to move from fossil fuels are not mature enough to produce the energy we need. Overreliance on green energy is a mistake and must be balanced by reasonable analysis of what is feasible and economically viable for consumers.
