New Bill Would Help Congress Better Understand Legislation’s Climate Impacts
Statement from EDF AVP for Political Affairs Joanna Slaney
“With extreme weather impacting peoples’ day-to-day lives increasingly often, it’s essential that Congress and the American public understand the climate impact of the legislation before Congress. We applaud Senator Whitehouse’s constructive solution that will enable carbon scores to be issued for proposed legislation.”
