"House To Vote On Measure Denouncing Carbon Tax"

"The House is set to vote as soon as next week on a measure that would condemn the idea of a carbon tax.

The resolution, introduced by House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Rep. David McKinley (R-W.Va.) in April, would express the “sense of Congress” that a tax on carbon dioxide emissions “would be detrimental to American families and businesses, and is not in the best interest of the United States.”

House GOP leaders posted the measure Friday on a list of proposals due for consideration by the full House next week.

The nonbinding measure mirrors one passed in 2016, shortly before the presidential election."
