Ron Wyden of Oregon.
"Voters really are demanding that the administration, the Senate, and the House do something about investing in clean energy jobs and tackling the climate crisis in 2022," said the vice president of governmental affairs for

Reduce energy costs for families and businesses
Governor Hassan will continue to take steps to build a stronger, more affordable energy future, and she will ensure we do it without sacrificing the scenic views and beautiful natural resources that drive our economy and define us as a place and as a
people.Governor Hassan worked with stakeholders across the state to develop a long-term energy strategy to help reduce energy costs, increase conservation and efficiency, diversify energy sources, and improve reliability, while also protecting our
beautiful natural resources.
Recognizing that energy challenges require a regional effort, the Governor is working with her fellow New England governors to explore ways to bring more natural gas and new, renewable energy sources into the state
while protecting New Hampshire's consumers and natural resources.
She maximized the benefits of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) program, allowing us to continue to reduce costs for our ratepayers and invest in energy-efficiency projects.

Join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
As State Senate Majority Leader, Maggie worked across party lines to ensure New Hampshire joined the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
The program was designed to create jobs, lower energy costs for Granite Staters, and begin to curb climate change by capping carbon emissions at large power plants.
The state has re-invested the revenue from this program in the New Hampshire economy, supporting a variety of programs including energy efficiency projects to further reduce energy costs.
In just its first three years, RGGI has already saved the state over $17 million, created over 400 jobs, lowered energy costs and begun to curb carbon emissions.
