Energy Innovation Act will cut pollution, put money in our pockets | Fadali, Reynolds
Betsy Fadali and Mark Reynolds
This opinion column was submitted by Betsy Fadali, a volunteer and founding member of the Reno-Sparks chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby; and Mark Reynolds, the executive director of Citizens’ Climate Lobby.
A few months into the new administration, the federal government is off to a roaring start on climate change. The latest exciting development in climate policy is the introduction of legislation called the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307). The bill hit the House of Representatives on April 1, led by Florida Democrat Rep. Ted Deutch and 28 original cosponsors. We hope Rep. Mark Amodei will join his colleagues in cosponsoring this important bill soon.

Broader plan is needed to aid all who are affected by changes
Thank you for Susanne Brooks and Daniel Raimiâs piece about the need to provide financial support and other services to coal communities affected by climate action (âGive fossil fuel workers a stake in the clean energy future,â Ideas, March 28).
When considering the economic and societal impacts of climate action, it is natural to focus on those, such as coal miners, who are most identified with the fossil fuel industry. But other industries will also be affected. The transition to electric vehicles will reduce demand for auto mechanics and gas station attendants. Oil rig crews and pipeline workers will find less demand for their services.
