View on Sheldon Whitehouse, United States Senator for Rhode Island website"According to the independent, nonpartisan think tank Resources for the Future, the bill would reduce energy-related carbon dioxide emissions by 36 percent compared to 2005 levels by 2025. Resources for the Future found that by the middle of the next decade, the bill would lead the United States to beat its carbon emissions targets set forth in the 2016 Paris Agreement pledge and deliver more than twice the utility-sector carbon reductions by 2030 than the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan."
