Summary/Abstract
This testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change on “Clearing the Air: Legislation to Promote Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage” discusses how the USE IT Act will impact utility workers across the country. The testimony identifies how the Act can drive the need to create thousands of jobs to construct and manage the entire CO2 transportation infrastructure, and how the Act may change the economics of existing coal-fired power plants to enable the continued employment of workers at these facilities.
