Wisconsin Democratic Party 2019 Endorsement of HR 763

Resolution text below was taken from DPW 2019 Resolutions adopted by the  assembled  membership  of  the  Democratic  Party  of  Wisconsin  on  June  2,  2019  at  its  annual  convention  in  Milwaukee, WI  ​

19-AGE-14: ENDORSEMENT OF THE ENERGY INNOVATION AND CARBON DIVIDEND ACT (H.R. 763)
WHEREAS, fossil fuels produce carbon emissions destabilizing the Earth’s climate;
WHEREAS, distinguished scientific panels recommend a timetable of carbon emissions reductions;
WHEREAS, a timetable of annual increases in a federal fee on carbon emissions will persuade businesses and
households to reduce carbon footprints in favor of clean-energy alternatives;
WHEREAS, the resulting revenue, distributed in equal monthly dividends, will protect low-income households and
reward low-carbon households; and,
WHEREAS, border adjustments in the carbon fee will persuade international trading partners to establish carbon fees
themselves;
THEREFORE RESOLVED, the DPW endorses H.R. 763 The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act.
