New York proposes stricter emissions limits under #RGGI program

Environmental Groups Urge Congress to Ban Data Centers Environmental and democrat groups are lining up to oppose the artificial intelligence revolution, a technological advancement on the scale of the internet. The end result will be a victory for AI and common sense, and the failure of renewable energy and the ideology of Climatism, the fear of human-caused global warming.

Northeast Partnership to Reduce Climate Emissions Loses Dirtiest Member - ecoRI News The initiative sets a cap on planet-warming emissions and requires power plants in the participating states to buy allowances to release carbon dioxide.

Our Opinion: Pursuing a clean-energy PA remains a worthwhile goal State Sen. Carolyn Comitta’s remarks on the Senate floor last Wednesday may speak more to the nature of compromise than they do a grave concern for the future of Pennsylvanians.

PA's $50B budget deal ends RGGI climate program The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) would have capped the amount of carbon that companies in Pennsylvania are allowed to emit.

"Their capitulation means that Pennsylvanians will now be robbed of more than $1 billion annually to lower electricity prices through investments in #cleanenergy." www.spotlightpa.org/news/2025/11/rggi-climat... #RGGI

We want to express so much gratitude to the lawmakers who stood with us against this budget deal that sacrificed #RGGI:
Rep. Greg Vitali, @reprabb.bsky.social, Rep. MaryLouise Isaacson @repbenwaxman.com

We’re devastated that governor.pa.gov gave in to the false choice between social services and lower energy bills. We cannot afford to let this failure be the final word on #CleanEnergy policy. #RGGI #Pennsylvania

It was a very good election for the climate In the first election of President Trump's second term, voters make it abundantly clear that they still care about climate action.

Climate was on the ballot in #Pennsylvania too. The state Supreme Court will be ruling on #RGGI, and it's upheld our constitutional rights to clean air, water, and land. Voters don't want justices who will stand with polluters. grist.org/politics/it-was-a-very-g...

Regional Instability Caused by Carbon Emission Taxes in Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey The imposition of carbon emission taxes on in-state fossil fuel generators by Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey has created significant regional instability within the PJM electricity marketplace, disrupting the established design of power distribution and causing operational difficulties. The policy, part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), is resulting in the closure of coal plants, early retirement of natural gas units, and a shift towards cleaner alternatives - all at the expense of businesses without guarantees against future taxation, highlighting the need for Maryland to cancel its participation in RGGI and allow the PJM markets to function naturally.

Environmentalists urge Shapiro, lawmakers not to compromise on climate to end budget impasse Republican lawmakers have staunchly opposed the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative as an economic burden.

Environmentalists urge Shapiro, lawmakers not to compromise on climate to end budget impasse • Pennsylvania Capital-Star RGGI aims to reduce climate-warming carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by requiring the companies that own them to invest in clean energy projects.

As Governor Shapiro says, it's a false choice between a healthy environment and our economy. #RGGI delivers both—and sacrificing climate action to end the budget impasse would be shortsighted. More here: penncapital-star.com/energy-envir...
