all support the climate bill

Re: “Trump signs wilderness protection bill” (Page B1, March 13):

President Trump’s signing into law the largest land preservation bill by Congress in 10 years is truly significant and encouraging news.

It proves that after years of bitter partisan division, members of Congress can now successfully work across the aisle to pass important legislation with large bipartisan support which then garners the approval and signature of the president.

My hope is that in the not-too-distant future a similar scenario will be true with regard to another important piece of bipartisan legislation: the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (HR 763). A market-based solution to climate change, this bill is effective, good for people and good for the economy.

And like the conservation bill, this important legislation will benefit Americans for generations to come.
