Description
Come hear about the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act that was introduced into the House of Representatives in January. It’s way more than changing light bulbs. It’s a market-based solution that protects low- and middle-income folks from increasing energy prices while spurring the growth of a clean-energy economy.
The presenters will be from Citizens’ Climate Lobby, a nonpartisan group who works in a respectful way to find common ground on climate change with their elected officials, Republicans and Democrats alike.
