Bipartisan Bill Would Study Carbon Emissions from China Products

Conservative Republicans in the U.S. Senate and House are pushing a so-called bipartisan bill to "study" the carbon emissions of products produced in the U.S. versus emissions for products manufactured in other countries, like China. We think this may be a slippery slope. We first wrote about this issue in March 2023 when the Senate was working on the bill (see Senate Republicans Working on “Foreign Pollution Act” to Tax Carbon). The Senate bill was introduced last June and passed the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee 14-5 in January.
