Myron Ebell [Myron.Ebell@cei.org] 7/13/2018 8:18:32 PM Myron Ebell [Myron.Ebell@cei.org] Cooler Heads Coalition action alert: House schedules vote on anti-carbon tax resolution
Reminder: the Cooler Heads Coalition will meet on Monday, 16th July, beginning at 12 noon at CEI, 1310 L Street, N. W., Seventh Floor.
Vote on Anti-Carbon Tax Resolution Next Week
The House has scheduled a vote on HConR.es 119 for next week. That is Rep. Steve Scalise's resolution expressing the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be bad for the economy. All Republicans (231) and six Democrats voted for a similar resolution in 2016.
Talking points can be found in the joint letter organized by the American Energy Alliance, which was signed by 18 groups and sent to Speaker Ryan on 9thJuly.

The House Rules Committee will meet Tuesday to tee up chamber consideration of a resolution, H, Con, Res. 119 (115), arguing a carbon tax would be "detrimental" to the U.S. economy and "not in the best interest" of the country, according to a notice.
Nineteen conservative groups, including the Competitive Enterprise Institute, American Energy Alliance and Americans for Tax Reform, sent House leadership a letter earlier this week urging them to take up the resolution.
The non-binding resolution is led by Majority Whip Steve Scalise and may be an interesting vote for members of the Climate Solutions Caucus. That bipartisan group's ranks have swelled to more than 80 lawmakers, but members have yet to weigh in on specific solutions for how to address climate change.
WHAT'S NEXT: The Rules Committee will meet on the resolution July 17 at 3 p.m.
