Carbon Fee and Dividend

1.  Corporations pay a fee to extract fossil fuels.

This fee makes it more expensive to pollute, and increases gradually over time.

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

The fee spurs clean energy innovation, making the policy good for the economy.

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

This will ensure all Americans, including the most vulnerable, are able to afford this transition. The majority of Americans will break even or profit from the money they get back in the form of "dividends".
