Oppose the repeal to RGGI. Since joining RGGI, Virginia’s power plant emissions decreased 12.5% between 2020-2021. Not only do these companies harm the environment, they pose risk to local communities by polluting the air and environments these people live in. Protect potential voters. After 6 years, participating states realized $5.7 billion in public health benefits thanks to RGGI. By maintaining and enforcing RGGI, not only do you support your own place in power by supporting the needs of your voters, you help support the beautification and ecosystems of Virginia.
