CLIMATE ACTION TOOLBOX
An Assessment of the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454)
Want to know the in’s and out’s of ACES? This “toolbox” assessment provides a framework for tracking legislation as it moves through Congress. In evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of ACES, this analysis examines the legislation as a Climate Action Toolbox by asking: To what extent does this legislation provide the right set of new tools to build the clean energy economy and confront the climate crisis? Even if the shape and size of every tool falls short of our expectations, we need to make sure that final legislation gives us sufficient tools to move forward aggressively, that the tools are strong enough to get us started quickly, and that the tools can be adjusted down the road to ensure we get the job done.
