Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse praises CCL at conference
At CCL's June conference this past week, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
(D-RI) praised CCL's advocacy work in his reception speech, while also
providing an update to the reconciliation process.
The senator, who has spearheaded climate efforts in the Senate, stated
that he believed that reconciliation is still alive, and gave an update
regarding carbon border adjustment mechanisms

.
"There are gonna be a lot of widget companies that are moving to the
United States of America because we are cleaner than other
manufacturers. And that will be a bigger economic lift for us than the
penalty of the tariffs. We win from the EU CBAM even if we don't step up
with a tariff of our own. And if we step up with a tariff of our own
with a carbon border adjustment of our own, now it's a really big win,"
he said.
Senator Whitehouse then went on to praise the efforts of CCL.
"We would not be in this position if you hadn't come to Washington, and
called, and emailed, and done all the work that you did to put life and
energy into carbon pricing and carbon border adjustment; you did that.
No group worked harder."
