Virginia House passes bill to rejoin controversial climate change agreement

Virginia is one step closer to rejoining a multi-state agreement combating climate change after its House of Delegates passed a bill on Tuesday that would reverse Republican-era policies.

The House Democrats approved Leader Charniele Herring’s House Bill 397 on Tuesday, Feb. 3, which would return Virginia to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), reversing policies enacted under the previous Republican administration.

Democrats had previously told reporters on Jan. 21 that they planned to introduce a budget amendment to accelerate the state’s process of rejoining RGGI.

The program would lower monthly electric bills in the long term through an energy-efficiency program, invests in weatherization and low-income energy efficiency programs to build and upgrade energy-efficient and affordable housing and helps communities to offset costs through flood mitigation and resilience planning, per a release.

You know that the people at WRIC are card carrying members of the cult when they write that last paragraph with no hesitation. Without any sort of vetting. With zero skepticism. What’s the long term? We keep hearing that, but, it hasn’t materialized. Those weatherization programs just seem to be slush funds for donors. Affordable housing? What does that have to do with the RGGI? A lot of buzz words and phrases which are mule fritters.

RGGI is a multi-state cooperation meant to reduce carbon dioxide emissions that harm the environment, with the goal being to combat climate change. Its members include the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.

So, 50, 34, 46, 38, 47, 43, 40, 44, 48, and 42 for most expensive energy states. Virginia will surely jump from 22.
