Remain in the RGGI
 

Virginia should remain in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.  It is a foundational building block to creating a marketplace for carbon, and ensuring success of future cap-and-trade/invest programs. Programs like this will do much more to curb emissions and slow climate change than anything else currently on the table.
