Ask senators, reps to support HR 5744

Recently, the Fifth National Climate Assessment stated "Household consumers will face higher costs for goods and services, like groceries and health insurance premiums, as prices change to reflect both current and projected climate-related damages."

Let's require fossil fuel industries to pay for the climate damages caused by their products' pollution. Passage of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act would require fossil fuel producers to pay a fee based on the carbon content of their fuels. The money collected goes back to households in a monthly carbon cash-back payment, thereby adding monthly income to climate-strained budgets.

Please let Sen. Wyden (202224-5244), Sen. Merkley (202224-3753), Rep. Hoyle (202-2256416) and Rep. Chavez-DeRemer (202-225-5711) know that you want to be protected from climate-induced inflation by making polluters pay.

Give them a call — it takes only a minute — and ask them to support the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, HR 5744.
