Fighting Global Warming

Congressman Markey introduced new legislation called the Investing in Climate Action and Protection Act (iCAP), H.R. 6186, that will slash global warming emissions and make America the leader in clean technology solutions. Introducing the first "Cap and Invest" system, iCAP will cut emissions 85% by the year 2050, set up a system for 100% auctions and invest money generated from polluters back to consumers and clean technology solutions.
