CATF Statement on Introduction of Smith and Luján CES Bills in Senate and House

The Clean Air Task Force (CATF) supports the Clean Energy Standard Act of 2019, which aims for the decarbonization of the U.S. electric power sector by mid-century. The legislation is described as technology-inclusive, supporting carbon capture and storage, nuclear energy, hydroelectric generation, and renewables. It proposes incentives for always-available zero-carbon electricity via a credit multiplier and a new Department of Energy RDD&D program. CATF notes that this federal effort aligns with existing state-level legislation in California, New Mexico, Nevada, and Washington, as well as targets set by major utilities covering 37.9% of US electricity sales.

• The Clean Energy Standard Act of 2019 seeks to decarbonize the U.S. electric power sector by mid-century using a technology-inclusive approach that allows for renewables, nuclear energy, hydroelectric generation, and carbon capture and storage.
