The Energy Innovation Act Is Back! Join CCL's All Supporter Call This Thursday (9/28)

Average Rating:

BIG NEWS! Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA-24) just reintroduced the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R.5744) in the U.S. House of Representatives!  Join CCL Staff Thursday for an all-volunteer call to get the details around the leglslation this session and how you can take action around and build support for the policy in your community and in Congress. 🎉 


 

The Energy Innovation Act is a carbon fee and dividend bill — and it’s pretty much our favorite climate policy ever. Polluters shouldn’t use the air as a trash can. A policy like this charges corporate polluters a fee for the carbon pollution they put into our air. The money collected goes to Americans in the form of a monthly “carbon cashback” payment to keep things affordable.
