Reply to comment by turnipmeatloaf in Dominion asks to reinstate surcharge for Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, boosting bills by VCUBNFO

there is no incentive for people to reduce carbon emissions if carbon emissions remain underpriced. not pricing it into consumer choices results in people overemitting carbon
