RGGI Withdrawal Would be Foolhardy
 

There are demonstrated economic and environmental benefits to states that participate in the RRGI program.  This is demonstrated in the recently released report by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, a report requested by Governor Youngkin.  The intent to withdraw our state from participation is political pandering. https://www.deq.virginia.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/13813/637829669069026180
