David Roberts on a new, sleeker cap-and-trade program proposed this week in the State Senate in SB775. Learn more at calfact.org and sign up for reporting of what will be a fast-paced debate about carbon pricing legislation in CA. Do you share CalFACT’s questions about SB775:
- Funding for existing and additional climate programs – will this bill provide funding for programs currently funded by cap and trade through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund? How much additional funding will it provide for climate related programs?
- Support from the Environmental Justice community – will this bill work for the environmental justice community and gain their support? How will it relate to other bills in process such as AB378?
- Will the border adjustment survive legal challenges? – a state level border adjustment is a new innovation in state carbon pricing and we look forward to seeing the details of how this can be implemented within the bounds of the commerce clause.
