The U.S. Senate is preparing a major climate change bill, which democratic Senator Joe Manchin described as a “down payment” for more draconian climate change measures. This bill will almost certainly pave the way for the radical “green” agenda, infringe on state sovereignty, and tie the U.S. further into international agreements that it has not properly ratified.
The American Energy Innovation Act or S. 2657 was introduced in late February by the two top Senators on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin. The proposed legislation is a package of more than 50 bills which The Hill described as, “touch[ing] nearly every aspect of the energy industry.”
For several months, the bill was stalled in the Senate because the White House and Senate leadership blocked a proposed amendment by Senators John Kennedy and Tom Carper to reduce levels of a greenhouse gas called hydrofluorocarbon, specifically over a provision permitting states to enact stronger regulations than the federal government. Unable to resolve the dispute, the bill failed in a cloture vote in March. The onset of COVID-19 hysteria distracted Congress from pushing forward with the bill.
However, on September 10, the Senate reached a compromise on the Kennedy-Carper amendment. Under the compromise, state and local governments will be prevented from enacting stricter hydrofluorocarbon regulations for between five and ten years. The bill has bipartisan support, meaning that its passage is almost assured.
However, to stop this bill from passing we have designed a new legislative alert that you can find through the button below. This bill is nothing more than an excuse to eliminate national sovereignty over a fake global crisis that they say requires a global solution, which in turn would impose international socialism and a world government upon the planet.
In fact, climate change is one of the primary means of the Left and the Deep State to advance global socialism which threatens the Constitution and the liberties it protects.
Republican politicians might believe that passing this proposed bill may prevent a more extreme measure like the AOC and Bernie Sanders-backed “Green New Deal.” However, the Left will not abandon any of the ground it gains, and the Republicans will only lose the argument by agreeing to make any movement on the issue.
To prevent this, our Senators must reject S. 2657, the American Energy Innovation Act, and its unconstitutional and socialist policies. Follow the link below to let your Senators know they should vote no on S. 2657.
With your help, we can stop this green tyranny in its tracks.
