Jim Willis has a great post up here pointing out the expectations are the latest RGGI auction of carbon allowances were expected to yield prices of about $27 per allowance of CO2. As he notes, it is essentially a tax on electricity consumers to pay for the right to emit CO2, which tax then goes to fund RGGI itself and all the grifters with crazy ‘climate crisis’ schemes that are out there.
A friend of mine ( Conservative, R) was a City Ambassador at the Charlotte Democrat Party Convention, about 2012. He was in a position to listen to conversations of (D) policy makers. The theme: “We (the Democrats) must cause energy prices to rise so that renewables will be competitive” Yes, since the days of Bill Clinton, Democrats have hated fossil fuels and were not very friendly with nuclear either. Driven by NGO’s such as NRDC and Sierra Club, they seem to hate America and especially American MAGA people like us
