.

Shapiro claims his new energy proposals will help keep Pennsylvania out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)—a multistate cap-and-tax program. As a candidate, Shapiro expressed concern that RGGI would increase consumer energy prices.

He’s also pushing a Pennsylvania Reliable Energy Sustainability Standard (PRESS), a big-government initiative that picks energy winners and losers.

Together, PACER and PRESS would leave Pennsylvania worse off with higher energy costs. Commonwealth Foundation Senior Manager of Energy Policy André Béliveau explains in his recent National Review op-ed

And send a message to Governor Shapiro now telling him to reject new energy taxes!
