DESCRIPTION:
Dozens of countries and jurisdictions have enacted carbon pricing mechanisms, and the evidence is in: carbon pricing enables renewable energy to flourish, helps phase out polluting energy sources, and lowers emissions. A strong carbon price will rise quickly enough to work without burdening low-income and middle-class families, and won’t create new dependencies on fossil fuel profits.
Therefore, we, the undersigned, support a national carbon price that will protect vulnerable communities and secure our transition to a 100% clean energy economy. We join together behind these principles, because we no longer have the luxury to delay real action.
