STAY IN THE RGGI
 

Is it not extremely evident from Virginia's weather extremes that we must be proactive to protect our future and that of our children?   Keep Virginia's role as a leader in RGGI!

RGGI is a forward-thinking program that not only put the onus on power companies to rein in emissions, but also provides important home assistance and flood resilience planning capabilities to rural communities. There is no replacement for any of these programs, so existing flood-prone communities and future generations alike will suffer from this proposed rollback.
