MORNING SENTINEL • March 8, 2020
The U.S. Senate Climate Solutions Caucus has a rule such that a senator can only join by bringing in a colleague from the other party. Sen. Angus King joined early on, and Sen. Susan Collins recently. We are optimistic that both King and Collins are working to launch a “home run” climate change bill. That could be a Senate version of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, already introduced in the House (H.R. 763). It would effectively reduce emissions, improve health and unleash innovation to build a new clean energy economy. ~ Lindsey Tweed, Vassalboro, and Peter Garrett, Winslow
