A Virginia state court ruled Wednesday that Gov. Glenn Youngkin broke the law by trying to remove the state from a multi-state program that limits harmful pollutants.

The court found Youngkin overstepped his authority when he attempted to pull Virginia out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative .

The program has already led to a 22% drop in power plant pollution across the state.

Since joining RGGI in 2020 , Virginia has raised over $827 million .
