RGGI is the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, created by a group of ten northeastern states. RGGI runs a carbon trading scheme with the primary goal to reduce CO₂ emissions.

This must be a knife into the hearts of the Maine senatorial Floradora Sisters and their twisted lab assistant, AlGore. Looks like their utopian green worlds may be beginning to crumble.
