Led by a courageous bipartisan group of farsighted governors, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative was hailed at its creation in 2009 as a declaration of independence in the clean energy revolution. The New England and Mid-Atlantic states that joined RGGI were among the original 13 colonies that forged this country’s first revolution; with the creation of RGGI, they led the way in the 21st century’s clean energy revolution.
RGGI was a move toward Massachusetts’ independence from shipping billions of dollars to other states and countries to fuel our electric power plants; independence from polluting fossil fuels; and independence from the tyranny of rising and volatile energy prices.

"The question is: Will they have the foresight to make the changes necessary to help reduce greenhouse gas pollution and support the clean energy revolution that is improving our environment and growing our economy?"
Let's see. have they talked to the leaders of North Korea? Islamist leaders of Syria (who is threatening to use Sarin gas) and the leaders of Iran who not only ar enriching uranium but have PLUTONIUM? You know BOMBS in general caues HEAT and AIR POLLUTION and are generally harmful to the ENVIRONMENT.
Notice how these self serving "Green Energy" organizations look the other way if the subject of religious fanatic inspired WARS is brought up.
