New taxes on pollution would fund infrastructure, cancer research, school safety, and veteran benefits.
This bill would create a new tax on greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and industrial processes, with the money going to infrastructure, clean energy research, and grants for low-income families. It would also boost cancer research funding, require reinforced doors in federally funded schools, and extend benefits to surviving spouses of veterans with ALS. Additionally, it would impose strict sanctions on Russia and change voting rules for primaries and non-citizens.
Today, there is no federal tax on greenhouse gas emissions, and federal motor vehicle and aviation fuel taxes are in place. After this bill, a new carbon tax would be implemented, and those fuel taxes would be repealed. This new revenue would fund a wide array of infrastructure, energy, and social programs, and states would be required to allow unaffiliated voters in primaries while prohibiting non-citizens from voting.
