Here are some updates regarding carbon pricing, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, and more, from Maine's fearless CCL leader, Peter Garrett:

1. There have been 7 or 8 carbon pricing bills in the House for a while. Here they are compared.

2. Here is a recent (February 13, 2020) Washingto Post Article - The fastest way to cut carbon emissions is a ‘fee’ and a dividend, top leaders say. Janet Yellen and other key politicians, economists and businesses are calling for a national Carbon Fee and Dividend program.

3. Taking a cue from a letter from Angus King, the Senate Climate Solutions Caucus seems to be showing interest in Carbon Fee & Dividend. Here is one of Peter Garrett's recent posts to the CCL Community Conservative Caucus Action Team.

Any of these would be great to expand on in LTE or Op-Eds.

Have fun with that!
