Let North Carolina join RGGI for a clean energy future

Gov. Cooper made bold commitments more than 3 years ago to tackle the climate crisis. However, those commitments need to be followed up with meaningful action.

Luckily, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is a program currently under review by North Carolina regulators that would bolster that law. The Cooper administration has the power to act by joining RGGI, alongside 11 other states from Maine to Virginia, to reduce carbon pollution in the power sector -- specifically from power plants in North Carolina.

North Carolina's communities are already feeling the impacts of climate change in the form of flooding, slower storms that drop more rain, rising sea levels that are harming coastal communities, and warmer and more humid days and nights. We can't afford to wait.
