The matrix is designed to allow policymakers to have a provision-by-provision assessment of the key differences in each bill, according to Ray Kopp, RFF Senior Fellow. "Committees and individuals in both the House and Senate have introduced a range of ideas in the various pieces of legislation being considered," says Kopp. "This chart will enable those following the progress of the legislative process to easily contrast and highlight the differences in each bill." The design focuses on six major provisions of each bill/proposal: who is regulated, allocation of emissions allowances, price stability mechanisms, offset provisions, technology incentives, and competitiveness policies. |
