Pallone, Environment Chair Paul Tonko and Energy Chair Bobby Rush unveiled the bill at a virtual press conference. They plan to take up the legislation through regular order. That approach would mean that natural gas power plants would not be able get partial credits without implementing carbon capture and sequestration technologies by the mid-2030s, although they would play a role in the energy transition during the 2020s. As structured, the standard also includes labor protections for the construction of new generating units.Overall, the legislation would authorize $565 billion in spending over ten years as the U.S. pursues deep decarbonization efforts.
"We're not leaving anyone behind here, we're offering the vision for America's future," Tonko said. "Every person listening: You, your family and your community have an important role to play."
