Get out of RGGI now!
 

Governor Glenn Youngkin is wisely moving to pull Virginia out of an energy monstrosity called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).

The RGGI strangles economies, impoverishes households, pushes energy prices through the roof, carries a massive environmental footprint, all while making no meaningful change to the temperature of the Earth.

As a Virginian, I support the Governor's initiative and hope our Commonwealth will pull itself out of this misguided compact as soon as possible.
