Why a carbon fee and dividend?

Because it’s the single most effective climate policy.

1 / Fossil fuel corporations pay a steadily rising polluters fee.

This new fossil fuel production cost will trickle down through the economy, reflecting the true cost of pollution in the price of everything.

2 / Businesses and people are incentivized to switch to cheaper greener energy.

Innovation for clean energy will be spurred, making the policy good for the economy.

3 / The revenue from fee gets distributed equally to all Americans.

This will ensure all Americans, especially the most vulnerable, can afford the transition. The majority of Americans will receive more cash back each month than the total they pay in trickle-down higher costs.
