Dear John, 

 

Good news everyone! The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act has been re-introduced by Rep. Ted Deutch in the House of Representatives along with 28 original cosponsors. 

 

Join our Legislative Update webinar, Today, Thursday, at 8pm Eastern, to learn about the reintroduction of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act in the U.S. House of Representatives.

 

We are excited that the reintroduction includes an updated emissions schedule, leading to net-zero emissions in 2050. And while we are disappointed that there are not any Republicans as original cosponsors, we understand Rep. Deutch’s decision to move forward given the momentum for climate action in Congress. After all, getting introduced is the first step to getting passed.

 

With your help, we will continue building support for carbon pricing from both Republicans and Democrats in Congress. With climate a major priority for Congress in 2021 we’ve never had a better opportunity to pass climate legislation, and we see growing support for carbon pricing from business organizations like the US Chamber of Commerce as well as support by key members of President Biden’s team. 

 

What can you do?

• Join our Legislative Update webinar Today at 8pm ET / 5pm PT to find out more about the bill.
• Write, Call, and Tweet your member of Congress and tell them you want them to co-sponsor the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act! (or thank them if they already are!) We want to see how fast we can get to 100 co-sponsors so... ready, set, go!
• Share our posts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn and tag your member of Congress.
