As budget conferees & the Governor debate whether or not to return Virginia to RGGI maybe they should consider Virginia emissions for Q1 are already much higher this year.

We are going in the wrong direction!

RGGI reduces emissions & helps us respond to climate change impacts

Gotta love Brett Rosen

I’m a bit worried folks may have been opposed to RGGI without knowing what it does.

“…removed Virginia from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative which would have added extreme costs to vehicles sold in Virginia…”

RGGI fails to incentivize the reduction of emissions in the Commonwealth, it’s simply a regressive tax hidden in utility bills passed on to all Virginians. richmond.com/news/state-reg…

Governor Glenn Youngkin praises the recently signed budget while blasting the hidden tax that is the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI):

“This is really a big statement for us, which is we don’t need tax increases…RGGI is a tax on Virginians that is hidden in utility

⚡️We can’t have a new discussion on energy when the governor is appealing a unanimous court decision that the RGGI carbon tax is unconstitutional.
💡Keeping our grid reliable and our energy affordable is key to supporting our economic and demographic growth.

Crazy ass night

While PA faces the challenges of inflation and the Gov. unilaterally moves to incorporate PA as a RGGI state, which would increase electric bills and kill jobs, the Dems have a novel idea: the zero emissions lawn care task force. The way you mow is now under their microscope.

Governor Shapiro talks the talk about creating jobs, but walks the walk straight into job-killing territory with his support for #RGGI .

WATCH Rep. Jim Struzzi call out the administration's hypocrisy.

Proud to support a budget that honors our Democratic values and funds our priorities. It’s not perfect. I’m disappointed by the exclusion of RGGI but it’s a compromise that will make investments in K-12, teacher pay, higher ed, Metro, cleaning up the Bay & mental health services.

As we celebrate Earth Day, we must recommit to prioritizing policies that preserve our planet:
✅Shifting to renewable energy
✅Expanding transit access
✅Transitioning to electric vehicles
✅Defending the Clean Economy Act & our participation in RGGI
& more. We have work to do!

.Charniele Herring said at presser, 'we have to respond to our constituents...we will act,' when I asked why pursue reinstating Virginia in RGGI when it was pretty DOA to Governor Glenn Youngkin.

Youngkin took the step of withdrawing from the carbon market on day 1.

Virginia's environmental leaders, jointly, on the General Assembly's failure on RGGI ➡️➡️➡️

'This governor deserves to be held accountable for attempting to unilaterally override Virginia law, and this capitulation by the General Assembly unfortunately sets us back.'

The surest ways to grow #jobs & opportunity is through responsible budgeting, lower taxes, fewer regulatory barriers & rescinding the appeal on #RGGI to keep electric prices lower.

#PASenate Republicans fight for these priorities to help #Pennsylvania businesses and families.

VICTORY for common sense!

Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin's final state budget does NOT include language that ties Virginia to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).bayjournal.com/news/policy/rg…

#breaking We have a budget! The House votes 94-6 to pass the $188 billion spending plan for fiscal years 2024-26.

The budget includes no new taxes, no additional tax relief, $2.5 billion in K-12 funding.

But Democrats conceded language that would require VA to re-join RGGI

Before and after photos of the #MDGA & Friends Tough Mudder Team! Since the event was in Pennsylvania, we went with a t-shirt tagline encouraging PA to “Join us in RGGI”. 😉
