Average Rating:
After a yearlong process, the majority staff of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis released its report on June 30th. The report was a substantial 547 pages long and covered many topics, including carbon pricing.

It is important to note that the report represents the work of the Democrats on the committee and is not a bipartisan consensus.
