Join Morgan McCue, CCL's Legislative Coordinator for a legislative update that explores the key elements behind how the Save Our Future Act is designed and highlights CCL’s interpretation of this landmark carbon pricing policy. Today, June 16, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Senator Brian Schatz introduced a new carbon pricing bill called “The Save Our Future Act.” In the 116th Congress, Sens. Whitehouse, Schatz Heinrich and Gillibrand introduced a similar bill called the The American Opportunity Carbon Fee Act of 2019 (S.1128; 116th). This legislation would place an ambitious price on carbon to reduce America's emissions, while also addressing long-standing environmental justice concerns, investing in coal communities to support their transition to a clean energy economy, and protecting American households by providing regular rebates and funding for further emissions reductions.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), a long-time climate action proponent, recently urged the Outdoor Industry Association to consider "ultimately putting some kind of a price on carbon emissions." For nearly nine years, he delivered 279 weekly "Time to Wake Up" climate addresses.

Ending these speeches in January 2021, Senator Whitehouse declared, "it’s now time to get to work." We agree a #PriceOnPollution is essential. Encourage this legislation by writing your member of Congress today: https://cclusa.org/write.
