I made another trip to Washington, D.C., trying to express my concern about the climate crisis with my senators, but yet again they wouldn’t meet this constituent.
I went to lobby for a price on pollution again. This was, though, the first time there’s a bill they can support. The Energy Innovation and Carbon Fee Act could be passed into law this year if enough voters are willing to speak up for their future.
It’s clear to anyone with a science education that we need to transition away from burning fossil fuels and all of the major oil companies, along with almost every leading economist, agree that a carbon fee is the most effective tool to accomplish it.
