Radicalized Antis Sue Va. Gov. Youngkin to Block Exit from RGGI

In 2021 as he was running for the office of Governor in Virginia, Glenn Youngkin pledged if he won, he would remove the state from the onerous carbon tax on coal- and gas-fired power plants called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). Following his recent review of a new regulation to remove the state from RGGI, Youngkin is on the cusp of keeping his promise this year (see Virginia on Track to Leave RGGI Carbon Tax Scheme by Dec. 31). However, right on cue, Big Green bullies are back, suing Youngkin to block the state's exit from this onerous tax. So we're not out of the woods just yet.
