This policy will:
Reduce America’s
emissions by 33%
within 10 years.
Improve health and
save lives by
reducing pollution
Americans breathe.
Create 2.1 million
new jobs over the
next 10 years.
Allocate all fees
collected to
Americans to
spend any way
they choose.
How it works
1
Carbon Fee: puts a fee on fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. It starts low, and
grows over time.
2
Carbon Dividend: The money collected from the carbon fee is allocated in
equal shares every month to the American people.
3
Border Carbon Adjustment: Imported goods will pay a border carbon
adjustment, and goods exported from the United States will receive a refund.
4
Regulatory Adjustment: Very limited: regulations based on other pollutants,
auto mileage standards, water quality and more won’t be affected. Prevents
additional regulations on CO2 emissions as long emission targets are being
met. EPA regulatory authority over emissions is restored if not met in 10 years.
