The Future of Conservation in America
— A Chart for Rough Water

u Solid, specific
recommendations for
tackling conservation
issues in tough timesThe Future of Conservation in America
— A Chart for Rough Water
u Avoid stumbling between
short-term wins and
defensive actions
u The future of conservation
requires actions for the long
view — actions that create
momentum for future
advances
u “Incorporate strategic intent
and the long view into every
action, conflict, or crisis”Strategic Intent — CCL Values Focus
u We are focused on what we see as the single most
impactful solution to climate change — a national
carbon fee and dividend. We know it will not
solve the problem entirely... So that we can be
effective, we do not let ourselves get distracted
by work that does not support our core purpose...The Energy Innovation and Carbon
Dividend Act (EICDA)
u A carbon fee is placed on coal, oil, or natural gas shortly
after it leaves the ground.
u The fee starts at $15 per metric ton of CO2 potential
increasing by $10 each year thereafter.
u If emission cuts don’t meet scheduled targets, the annual
increase can be raised to $15.
u All funds are recycled to American residents as monthly
dividends. Low- and middle-income Americans – about two-
thirds in all – will get more back than they pay in higher
prices.The Energy Innovation and Carbon
Dividend Act (EICDA)
u A carbon border adjustment is placed on carbon-intensive
goods that are imported or exported, discouraging
businesses from relocating to where they can pollute more,
and encouraging other nations to price carbon.
u There’s a moratorium on redundant federal greenhouse gas
regulations, lifted after 10 years if emissions targets are
not met. No effect on any other air pollution rules, auto
mileage standards, appliance efficiency, methane leakage
from wells, etc.
u Agricultural users do not pay the feeOur 2019 Chapter Strategy
