  6. The Carbon Dividends Plan has majority support across party lines. Including 4-1 support overall, 2-1 GOP support and 75% support from Republicans under 40. Business and environmental leaders are proposing a bipartisan climate solution that charges fossil fuel companies for their carbon emissions and gives all the money directly to the American people through a quarterly check. This new climate solution is called “Carbon Dividends”, because all households would receive a quarterly cash payment as part of an effort to solve climate change. Would you support or oppose this plan?
