AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would add a new program to the Clean Air Act that caps greenhouse gas emissions from large power plants, fuel producers and importers, gas utilities, and industrial facilities starting in 2027, and lowers the cap each year. Covered entities would have to turn in one emission allowance for each ton of emissions, with allowances sold at quarterly federal auctions with a minimum price of $15 in 2027 that rises each year. Auction proceeds and allowances would go to states and tribes for consumer energy programs, rebates for low-income households, local governments, worker and community assistance, communities with high pollution, carbon removal, and energy research. It sets a national goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and creates penalties for entities that do not turn in enough allowances.
