The anvil of RGGI hanging over the head of the electric generation sector has already forced the closure of one coal-fired power plant. The result was the loss of hundreds of family-sustaining union jobs. Should Pennsylvania continue in the RGGI alliance hundreds, perhaps thousands more jobs will be lost. The projected 30% increase in electricity costs will also substantially impact working-class families already reeling from the nearly 20% cumulative inflation rate since Joe Biden took office.
