Bipartisan bill good for climate
December 15, 2018
Stop the presses — bipartisan cooperation has just
been detected in Congress! The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (HR
7173) was introduced by Republicans Brian Fitzpatrick and Francis Rooney and
Democrats Ted Deutch, John Delaney, and Charlie Crist. Its goal is to “drive
down America’s carbon pollution and bring climate change under control, while
unleashing American technology innovation and ingenuity.”
This bill would greatly benefit the air quality of
our San Joaquin Valley by encouraging the shift from fossil fuels to clean
energy, and at the same time put money in people’s pockets with a monthly carbon
dividend check.
It’s a bill that both red and blue America can get
behind. Let’s tell Congress we want bipartisan action on climate change, and
help preserve a healthy climate for our children and grandchildren.
