WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today Representatives McKinley (R-WV) and Schrader (D-Or) reintroduced the Clean Energy Future through Innovation Act. In addition to expanding fossil fuel subsidies, this bill proposes a Clean Energy Standard that sets the target of 80 percent clean energy by 2050. This is the third, and least ambitious, federal energy standard proposed by the House of Representatives this year.
Sarah Lutz, Climate Campaigner at Friends of the Earth, issued the following statement in response:
This so-called “Clean” Energy Standard is a blatant giveaway to dirty energy. We need to invest in proven energies like wind and solar, rather than subsidizing fossil fuels, nukes, and carbon capture.
