Get Virginia out of the RGGI
 

It is unbelievable that we as the people of the United States continue to follow the European Union on things that are AGAINST our core beliefs and because somehow we think they can do things better?  Are you kidding me?  There is a reason we distanced ourselves hundreds of years ago from that continent.....its because these people are too much into feelings and what certain actions look like, instead of using our brain and looking at poor results that are happening in Europe and diving into the reasons why the problems are happening in the country.  

  1.  Man Made climate change is a farce.
  2. CO2 is needed on the earth for plants to survive and is not a pollutant
  3. Man can only marginally change anything about the earth, period
  4. God is in control of all things and we need to focus on that truth, rather than listen to what some people say the truth is.
  5. Since green energy is more expensive and requires more money form government to even exist at all, kind of tells you why it is not being used more today.
  6. If green energy made sense....then it will develop slowly on its own, like it will when and if it becomes economically viable without government mandates.
  7. Governments, ALL governments, do not have the right to tell their citizens what the MUST do and what they must buy and/or pay for.
  8. I hope Virginia starts seeing the Truth again and removes itself from the RGGI, given the fact that it is built on a theory of lies and media created hysteria.
