RGGI Good at Taxing Electric Consumers, Bad at Lowering Emissions

We've been critical of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a tax on carbon dioxide assessed on power-generating plants in the northeastern U.S., since Pennsylvania's then-Governor, Tom Wolf, unilaterally tried to force his state into the plan in 2019 via Executive Order (see Gov. Wolf Goes Bonkers: EO Destroying Gas-Fired Elec, Carbon Tax). The states that currently belong to RGGI are Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. PA's status is pending a lawsuit that the Democrats on the PA Supreme Court refuse to rule on until after the election in November. Supporters of this insane carbon tax claim it lowers carbon dioxide emissions. We have incontrovertible proof that this is a lie.
