Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

America's Clean Future Fund Act is a Senate bill senate Consideration.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects fuel producers, fuel importers, large emitters, households, farmers, workers, and communities tied to fossil fuels or heavy industry. Companies that sell or import covered fuels would pay the carbon fee. Most adults would receive cash rebates, while higher-income households would receive less or no rebate. Farmers, workers, tribes, local governments, colleges, labor groups, and nonprofits could receive support through new grant or payment programs.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it would make carbon pollution more expensive across much of the economy. That could push companies and consumers toward cleaner energy and lower-emission products. It could also raise prices for fuel, power, heat, and goods, so the bill sends rebates to most adults. The real effects would depend on energy markets, agency rules, business choices, and how other countries respond.

Key provisions in S. 5107

• The federal carbon fee would start in 2026 at $65 per metric ton of carbon dioxide-equivalent. It would apply to coal, oil, natural gas, and other covered fuels, and rise by at least $10 per ton each year plus inflation.
• A separate fee would start in 2028 for large non-fuel emissions. This includes methane leaks and some industrial emissions, and it uses the same per-ton price.
• The bill sets yearly U.S. emissions targets based on 2018 levels. It aims for about a 45% cut by 2030 and a 100% net cut by 2050; if total emissions run too high, the yearly fee increase jumps to $15 to $25 per ton, depending on the year.
• The bill adds a carbon charge at the border. It refunds carbon fees built into covered U.S. exports and charges a matching fee on similar imports, with credit for foreign carbon prices or similar climate policies.
• The bill creates the Climate Change Finance Corporation, called C2FC, as an independent federal agency. It would fund low- and zero-emission energy, climate-ready infrastructure, and high-risk clean projects, with a seven-member board confirmed by the Senate.
