16. Specific lobbying issues

S. 685 - America's Clean Future Fund Act of 2021. In support. This is a bill to place a gradually increasing price on carbon emissions returning 75% of the revenue back as quarterly rebates to American households, 15% of the revenue to the Climate Change Finance Corporation, and 10% to transition assistance. After 10 years the percentage to transition assistance begins to decrease and the percentage of rebates to Americans and to the Climate Change Finance Corporation increases. After 15 years the breakdown is as follows and remains the same: 80% rebates to American citizens, 20% to the Climate Change Finance Corporation, and 0% to transition assistance.

S.2085 - The Save Our Future Act. In support. This bill places a price on fossil fuels for their carbon emissions, as well as on NOx, SOx, and particulate matter emissions in frontline communities. Revenues will be dedicated to 4 purposes: 1) a per-capita dividend, 2) a state-based mitigation program, 3) assistance to energy veterans and their communities, and 4) assistance to environmental justice communities.

H.R. 2307 - The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. In support. This bill places a gradually rising fee on fossil fuels based on the greenhouse gas emissions that would result from their combustion, returns 100% of the revenue as a per-capita dividend, and includes a carbon border adjustment.

In addition to support for the above bills, we also lobbied in support of carbon pricing generally.

S.1455/HR 1733 - RECLAIM Act. In support. To amend the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to provide funds to States and Indian tribes for the purpose of promoting economic revitalization, diversification, and development in economically distressed communities through the reclamation and restoration of land and water resources adversely affected by coal mining carried out before August 3, 1977, and for other purposes.

S. 1251/H.R. 2820 - Growing Climate Solutions Act. In support. The Growing Climate Solutions Act creates a certification program at USDA to help solve technical entry barriers that prevent farmer and forest landowner participation in carbon credit markets.

S.799/H.R.1992 - Storing CO2 And Lowering Emissions (SCALE) Act. In support. The SCALE Act is a bill that will help develop CCS infrastructure as a critical means of reducing GHG emissions while creating regional economic opportunities and jobs. It will enable the development of CO2 transport and storage infrastructure needed to scale up carbon capture, removal, use, and storage across domestic industries, including those difficult to decarbonize.

S.1768/H.R.3456 - HOPE for HOMES Act of 2021. In support. This bill encourages both short- and long-term actions to help the household energy efficiency industry cope with the pandemic's long-term problems. This bipartisan bill would establish grants to assist the energy efficiency sector in retaining jobs and investing in much-needed training to expand job opportunities in the workforce.

Though not yet re-introduced this Congress, we also lobbied in support of the Energy Sector Innovation Credit (ESIC) Act. The Energy Sector Innovation Credit is a bipartisan energy tax proposal that encourages innovation in the clean energy sector by providing investment and production tax credits for emerging clean energy technologies.
