Policy Update: Pricing Carbon, Paying Dividends
The Chesapeake Climate Action Network supports efforts to advance legislation to put a price on carbon and return all or most of the proceeds to American families. We supported “cap and dividend” legislation introduced by Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) in the House and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Susan Collins (R-ME) in the Senate in 2009. Since that time, the concept of a carbon fee or cap combined with dividends to US families has attracted more interest and support. CCAN continues to produce and distribute this occasional newsletter to keep the clean energy community updated on those developments.
