Supported by a broad coalition of stakeholders, the carbon dividends solution offers the best opportunity for a bipartisan breakthrough on climate.
The plan that will keep Indiana manufacturing in the driver’s seat.
The Baker-Shultz Carbon Dividends Plan and its Border Carbon Adjustment will allow US industries to leverage their carbon advantage and outcompete foreign production.
Energy intensive US industries, like steel, are uniquely positioned to gain a competitive advantage from a Border Carbon Adjustment.
For example, when a sheet of steel is produced in America to manufacture a car or truck, it typically generates less than half the emissions per ton than a steel sheet produced elsewhere in the world.
This means U.S. steelmakers will gain from a domestic carbon fee and border carbon adjustment, and that translates into more economic growth and American jobs.
