The Economics

The fact that the Energize Rhode Island Act will help to catalyze innovative jobs in a critical employment sector is the final important piece of this puzzle. A cleaner environment, reduced carbon emissions, offsetting credits for lower income earners, and a stronger, more innovative economy. This bill represents a classic “win-win” for Rhode Island."
