ISO-NE data reports rthat the average natural gas plant in New England emits 0.3924 tons of C02 per megawatt per hour of operation.
RGGI reports that plants will be assessed a tax of $24.99 per ton of C02 emitted
0.3924 X 24.99 = $9.81 per megawatt.
Day ahead wholesale energy price at 8am 3-14-2026 is $45.95 per megawatt
9.81 divide by 45.95 = 21% of power costs is carbon dioxide tax.
Democrats will say natural gas prices are up 21% and is the reason for higher electric bills.
Democrats Lie.

The RGGI is political construct set up by brainwashed, know-nothing, woke, socialist, big-government Democrats, that damages the environment.
It should be immediately closed down.
CO2 is an essential, life-giving gas for all life on earth.
According to NASA, we need MORE CO2 ppm to increase flora and fauna, reduce desert areas, such as the Sahara, and increase crop yields per acre to better feed 8 billion people
