IRS990/Desc0ZERO EMISSIONS ENERGY TAX POLICY: THIS IS OUR PRIMARY FOCUS. THE CAMPAIGN TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS FOCUSED ON A CARBON TAX. WE DO NOT BELIEVE A CARBON TAX IS FEASIBLE IN THE CURRENT PARTISAN STATE OF AFFAIRS. THROUGHOUT 2016, WE WORKED WITH EXPERTS TO DEVELOP A NEW APPROACH TO ESTABLISH A PRICE SIGNAL FOR UNWATED EMISSIONS FROM THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR. WE CALL THIS ZERO EMISSIONS. INSTEAD OF ADDING TAXES TO THE COST OF ELECTRICITY FROM FOSSIL FUELS, WE RECOMMEND REMOVING TAXES FROM CLEAN ENERGY. THIS POLICY, IF ENACTED, WILL RESULT IN A $3.5 TAX CUT, $5.5 BILLION IN LOWER ELECTRICITY BILLS, ACCELERATED REDUCTION IN HARMFUL EMISSIONS FROM ELECTRICY GENERATION, AND ELIMINATION OF SCORES OF EXISTING INCENTIVES WHICH IT REPLACES.
