Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin promises To Withdraw Virginia from Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative

Good news! Bravo Glenn Youngkin!

Glenn Youngkin may well turn out to be the 2nd Donald Trump in recent U.S. political history!

Good to know when politicians resist the dominant Global Warming hoax and Climate Change religion!

Carbon taxes are an extremely artificial tax only to please the climate change/crisis tyrants! We need less taxation not more!

"This week, Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin announced his intention to withdraw the Commonwealth of Virginia from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a pact of 11 states requiring power plants inside those states to purchase “allowances” to emit a determined amount of carbon dioxide.
Governor-elect Youngkin said, “RGGI describes itself as a regional market for carbon. But it is really a carbon tax that is fully passed on to ratepayers. It’s a bad deal for Virginians. It a bad deal for Virginia businesses.” ...
“Governor-elect Youngkin made it clear that he fully understands the negative effects of staying in RGGI.  He could also add another reason for withdrawing Virginia: it is a compact between states that is unconstitutional under Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 of the Constitution, which states clearly that ‘No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, … enter into and Agreement or Compact with another State….’”"
