U.S. must have carbon-fee system
May 29, 2020Citizens’ Climate Lobby of Fresno thanks Rep. Jim Costa for co-sponsoring H.R. 4051, the Climate Action Rebate Act.
CARA is similar to our preferred legislation, H.R. 763, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act.
Both acts charge gradually increasing fees to producers of oil, coal and natural gas based on the carbon dioxide released when these fuels burn.
Economists agree that carbon fees are the most effective and market-friendly method of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Congress should pass this kind of legislation.
