  • Acadia Center’s RGGI Fact Sheet Doesn’t Set the Record Straight — It Rewrites ItSeptember 14, 2026
    On September 9, 2026, Acadia Center published a fact sheet titled “Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) Impacts in ISO New England: Setting the Record Straight on Costs and Benefits.” Its “bottom line” is that RGGI is a $4-to-1 winner for New England ratepayers — $445 million in 2025 auction proceeds projected to return $1.3 billion … Continue reading "Acadia Center’s RGGI Fact Sheet Doesn’t Set the Record Straight — It Rewrites It"

  • The Poll Says Don’t Raise Prices. RGGI Already Has.September 5, 2026
    The Empire Center for Public Policy recently released results from a statewide poll of 600 likely 2026 general-election voters, conducted by Cygnal, on New Yorkers’ energy and climate priorities.  The headline finding will not surprise anyone who has followed this blog: New Yorkers want lower emissions, but not if it costs them more money, and … Continue reading "The Poll Says Don’t Raise Prices.
