· Set science-based timetables. The targets and timetables must be sufficient to do what the science demands in both the near and long terms to reduce the negative impacts of climate change to the maximum extent possible. This will require reductions in total emissions on the order of 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 and 20 percent below current levels by 2020.
· Auction emissions permits. Permits to emit carbon must be used for public benefit, not private windfalls. All allowances should be auctioned or otherwise used to benefit the public.
· Pursue the cleanest, cheapest, fastest solutions first. Revenue raised by the bill should be used to promote a clean energy future by investing in the highest-value solutions for emissions reductions first, to accelerate deployment of the clean energy technologies we have today and to develop the ones we need for tomorrow | Adopted | Pass |
