Alan Lowenthal: “The Mining Law of 1872 must go.”

We must achieve 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2035, and the entire U.S. economy needs to reach net-zero emissions by midcentury.

To stave off the worst impacts of climate change, we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels by at least half by 2030.

These targets are certainly reasonable, and they are consistent with what the world has agreed to for climate targets.

It is a good piece of legislation. I am proud to be co-sponsoring it.
