The Senate Environmental Resources & Energy (ERE) Committee advanced legislation this week that would require legislative approval of Gov. Tom Wolf’s proposal to enter Pennsylvania into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
Senate Bill 119, introduced by Sen. Joe Pittman (R-41), creates the Pennsylvania Carbon Dioxide Cap and Trade Authorization Act, which prohibits the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from joining RGGI or any similar agreement without approval from the state Legislature.
“A carbon tax is a major energy and fiscal policy initiative, and if such a tax is to be imposed on Pennsylvania employers, we believe it should be approved by the General Assembly. Beyond the fiscal impact on Pennsylvania manufacturers, coal and gas electric generation, consumers, and future economic investments made in our st ....

In RGGI Fight Escalation, GOP Blocks Wolf's Nominations To Utility Regulator

StateImpact Pennsylvania
State Senate Republicans say they will block Gov. Tom Wolf’s appointments to Pennsylvania’s utility regulator unless he stops his effort to have the state join a regional cap-and-trade program targeting power plant emissions.
It’s the latest escalation of their fight against the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which they say will hurt coal communities.
The move shocked some environmental and consumer protection groups, who say Republicans are holding the Public Utility Commission hostage over an unrelated policy decision.

But even with that support, Yaw acknowledged there is an obstacle. Specifically, no dedicated funding source yet exists to get the proposed program off the ground.
âFunding is an issue,â Yaw said, speaking Monday at the Flinchbaughâs Orchard & Farm in Hellam. ....
