American Climate, Energy & Wildfire Resilience Act
Stop wildfires before they start, build clean energy that creates jobs, and put money back in every American's pocket — all without adding a penny to the national debt.
💵 Cash Back for Every American
75% of carbon fee money goes straight back to you as quarterly checks
