N.H. SENATE VOTES TO REVISE STATE'S INVOLVEMENT IN RGGI

摘要

The New Hampshire Senate voted this week to keep the state in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, opting to change the way the state administers the regional cap-and-trade program instead of withdrawing altogether. The chamber passed a measure this week that would alter the way revenue from RGGI would be used in New Hampshire, shifting most of the raised money into a long-running energy efficiency program run by utilities in the state. Revenues were previously put into a fund to encourage greenhouse gas emission reductions.
