With control over federal climate policy at stake in the U.S. elections, a panel of experts on Oct. 20 reiterated the case for carbon pricing as one of the most cost-effective ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The comments were made during an event hosted by Resources for the Future more than a year after the independent research institution dubbed 2019 "The Year of the Carbon Pricing Proposal." That year, six different carbon pricing bills were introduced by federal lawmakers. A total of 10 separate carbon pricing proposals have now been introduced in the 116th Congress, according to a bill tracker maintained by Resources for the Future.
