Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
EPA sets yearly emissions cut targets
If enacted, the EPA would set yearly U.S. net greenhouse gas targets for 2030–2050. The 2035 target would be at least 52% below 2005 levels. The 2050 target would be zero net emissions. EPA would issue the targets within 1 year, write final rules within 7 years, and update at least every 5 years. The National Academies would review progress within 5 years and every 5 years after. If they recommend action, agencies would have 2 years to issue rules or explain why not.
All retail electricity renewable by 2035
If enacted, the share of retail electricity from renewables would rise each year starting in 2026. By 2035 and after, at least 100% of retail power sold would be renewable. The Secretary, consulting EPA, would issue rules to make this happen. States could still set stronger renewable or efficiency rules.
Utilities must hit rising efficiency targets
If enacted, retail power and gas suppliers would need to save more energy each year. Savings must come from efficiency at customer sites. For electricity, cumulative savings would rise from 0.375% in 2026 to 11.25% in 2032. For natural gas, from 0.25% in 2026 to 4.05% in 2032. A trading system would be allowed, and the Secretary could raise targets after 2032.
States can set stronger climate rules
If enacted, this title would not block states from passing their own climate laws. States could adopt or strengthen climate, renewable, or efficiency rules. This clause would not give money or change who pays.
