Spanberger is already making Virginia unaffordable
Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) campaigned as a centrist who promised to make Virginia more affordable for families. But her existing energy policies are poised to make electricity more expensive for ratepayers next year, and the full energy plan she released last week would make energy more expensive for decades to come.
TL;DR
- Governor Abigail Spanberger's energy policies may increase electricity costs for Virginians.
- Her administration plans to rejoin the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
- Virginia's withdrawal from RGGI under the previous governor was estimated to save consumers nearly $1 billion over two years.
