WASHINGTON: Two Democratic US senators will unveil a bill on Thursday to curb climate change by slapping a fee on oil, natural gas and coal and delivering most of the revenues to low- and middle-income Americans, one of the lawmakers said.
Coons said he is talking with Senate colleagues from both parties and Democrats running for president to build support. It will be an uphill battle to get enough votes to pass in the Republican-led 100-member chamber. The Coons bill would cut US carbon emissions 55 per cent by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2050 compared to 2017 levels, a more modest goal than that of the Green New Deal.
A Marist Poll this month showed 63 per cent of Americans believed that the Green New Deal was a good idea, versus 50 per cent who thought a carbon tax was.
