New York is part of the 10 state Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a cap and trade scheme.
Unlike the other 9 states, the NYS Legislature never voted on RGGI's participation. This cap and trade program that requires that energy producing plants that emit CO2 to purchase permits was implemented by a Memorandum of Understanding by Governor Pataki and an Executive Order by Governor Paterson.
To date, NY has collected over $320 Million dollars on these required permits driving the cost of electricity up.

Learn more about this unconstitutional tax, NJ's withdrawal, repeal efforts in other states, the legal challenges to NY RGGI, the impact on local communities and what you can do to reverse this ultra vires tax.
