What is Citizens' Climate Lobby's proposal for recalibrating? CCL proposes a carbon fee and dividend (CF&D) plan that places a predictable, increasing fee on fossil fuels and the greenhouse gases they emit. This fee is then returned to households each month. Studies predict that 53 percent of U.S. households would receive a net financial benefit as the dividend exceeds the rising cost of household goods. The plan also places a border tax on imported foreign goods made using fossil fuels, encouraging other countries to transition to renewable energy sources to produce their products. In just 20 years, studies show that carbon fee and dividend would greatly reduce carbon emissions while adding 2.1 million jobs (many in the clean energy sector) all without big government regulations. It is actually amazingly simple. Market forces instead of big government are allowed to put us on a path to lower-cost renewable energy and a low-carbon future. If (when) Congress passes this legislation, the U.S. will be on its way to complying with the Paris agreement!
