Electricity prices are already too high!!!! Ditch the RGGI CARBON TAX!
 

Families are already having a hard time in the Commonwealth, and the last thing they need at this point is artificially high electrical bills. The renewables are intermittent with HUGE imposed costs for transmission and backup not counted in their LCOE. 

Let's get back to basics...affordable and reliable energy, rather than these Rube Goldberg-like machinations that are making the few rich at the expense of the many.  I like American energy...Organic fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas.  I am OPPOSED to Red Chinese solar panels and wind mill parts made by burning the 9 times as much coal as the U.S. uses.  They make 80% of the world's batteries which would be used for backing up part-time renewable energy.  

Put a stop to this nonsense...Now.  

Reliability and affordability must be the goals, not lining the pockets of Green Billionaires who are paying people to write letters in favor of the RGGI.
