Climate change still a serious threat

By Megan Pardoe - Nashua | Jul 18, 2020

Climate change is still a looming threat that hangs over all of us. And for us to combat this growing issue we need a clear plan. The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act will help to fight climate change while also aiding the economy.

With this plan a fee will be placed on carbon at the source, starting at $15 per metric tonne. Then the fee will rise each year by $10. This will help to reduce the amount of carbon emissions in the air. After the fee is collected the money will be returned equally among households.

Not only will this help the economy and the environment but it will also create jobs. By focusing more on green energy, the industry will grow and allow for more job creation. The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act will help to combat climate change and aid the economy.
