PA’s RGGI Carbon Tax Assumes Fossil Power Plants are Racist

When you see the words "environmental justice," that's just another way of saying racist--or the new shorthand "woke." Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's plan to participate in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) carbon tax scheme assumes all fossil fuel-powered electric generating plants in the state are built in communities of color or in communities that are economically poor and therefore those communities can't fight back against the injustice of being "polluted." RGGI presumes fossil power plants are racist and sets out to correct the injustice by eliminating those power plants via taxing them out of existence.
