"Climate change is scary and urgent, so I’m really glad to see Congress proposing solutions."

"Climate change is a very significant threat to our prosperity and to our national security. Enduring things in this country happen when there is broad bipartisan support. If you look back across this country's history, whenever we have dealt with a really big challenge, we've done it together. Most Americans understand that this is a very significant issue. Democrats, Republicans, Independents -- they want us to work together to solve it in a big way, which is what this bill does."

"You can look at different solutions for the economy, but you only get one earth to live on, and you have to breathe the air that is on this earth. We have to do it in a way that doesn’t hurt families economically, which is why I’m supporting the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, because it puts a fee on carbon and returns the revenue to households."

"As a scientist, I am in favour of any legislation that will reduce carbon emissions and has broad-based support. I am delighted that the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act has been introduced to the House of Representatives as it is an ambitious plan to reduce carbon emissions with bipartisan support across the U.S. political spectrum."

"The Energy Innovation Act is the best possible solution for addressing climate change in our country right now."

"This is a big deal- we finally have a bipartisan bill in the House that puts a price on carbon."
