Build a Future-Focused Economy

* Forward-facing programs like the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI nets NH income and helps us achieve energy efficiency goals) are win-win.
* If we pull out of RGGI we are required to continue paying but we no longer receive any benefit.
* The agreement was designed to prevent chaotic decision-making. Yet NH Republicans continually fight staying in this regional partnership, regardless of the fact that it works to NH's benefit.

Who makes these kinds of decisions? People who favor corporate cronyism over settled science. Science has a better track record of predicting outcomes. With so many real threats, it's no time to swap science for spin. Better leaders mean a better path.
