Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative Hearing

Details

The Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) will hear testimony today for and against Pennsylvania entering the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).  Governor Wolf wants us part of this initiative by next year — will it happen?? Today’s hearing will determine the answer to that question!

Last month a 31-page paper was written by scientists who are part of the CO2 Coalition which outlines the flaws in this effort.  It’s broken into three parts:  “Analysis of Wolf Administration’s Predictions of Climate Catastrophe”; “Analysis of Wolf Administration’s Flawed Use of Climate and CO2-Emissions Models”; “Analysis of Economic and Environmental Impact of Wolf Administration’s RGGI Proposal”.   This paper was sent to more than 500 movers and shakers across PA.

Action Steps

  1.  Pray for this hearing and the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) as they hear the testimony and vote on whether to approve Governor Wolf’s push for PA to enter the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
  2. Listen to Diane Gramley’s interview with Gregory Wrightstone, Executive Director of the CO2 Coalition and one of those who will testify against the RGGI during the IRRC hearing.
