Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)
 

Green radicalism is all about accumulating vast power and fortunes by cashing in on climate. This scheme has already cost the Commonwealth a carbon tax which cost our utilities more than $500 million in just two years. We're looking at another $300 million in wasteful energy taxes this year.

We also need to protect the endangered right whale from Dominion Energy’s massive offshore Virginia wind project. There are only 300 right whales left, and Dominion’s wind boondoggle lies directly in their migratory path. The greens are willing to turn a blind eye and sacrifice this endangered species in order to push more “renewable energy.”

Every Virginian, every American, everyone in the world are facing energy shortages and crippling prices from energy taxes and mandates that enrich a few, harm a multitude, trample the environment and do nothing meaningful for the climate. 

I applaud Governor Youngkin in this endeavor.
