Economists + Scientists = Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act
I write to you today as person who is concerned about global warming. I’m asking you to support the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividends Act (H.R 763 or S. 3791).
The EICDA places a steadily increasing fee on fossil fuels, at the point of extraction or import, and returns the collected money to the American people in the form of equal dividend checks.
Most economists agree that putting a price on using fossil fuels (and emitting CO2) and letting the free market decide how to respond would be the least costly and most effective way to reduce CO2 emissions. It provides equal support for all means of reducing emissions and lets them compete on a fair, level playing field. That, as opposed to having the government pick winners and losers. It will even (automatically) incentivize means of emissions reduction that have not yet been developed or even thought of yet.
Analyses show that this policy will be effective, reducing US CO2 emissions by over 40% in the first 12 years. It will also improve health and save many lives by reducing pollution from coal and oil use. The dividend checks will offset cost of living increases due to higher fossil fuel costs. Lower- and middle-income Americans will benefit most of all, and will actually come out ahead. The spending of dividend checks is projected to benefit the economy and create over 2 million new jobs. The bill also includes a border tariff on imports from countries that do not have a similar price on carbon, which will prevent the offshoring of industries and jobs.
Finally, this policy will attract bipartisan support since it is market-based and technology neutral, i.e., in line with conservative free market principles. It is revenue-neutral, so it will not grow the size of government, but will instead return the money to the people to spend as they see fit. It also does not involve regulations or telling people and businesses what they can and cannot do. For these reasons, the bill has attracted bipartisan support, with supporters and cosponsors from both parties. Will you co-sponsor or support it as well?
