Vermont’s ground-breaking Climate Superfund Act is the first law in the nation designed to make fossil fuel companies pay their fair share of cleanup costs after the increasingly frequent, severe storms we are experiencing because of the climate change their products cause.
The most significant piece of climate legislation before the Maine Legislature this year, LD 1870 will create the first-ever comprehensive study to assess and document the financial damage climate change has inflicted on Maine.
A Climate Superfund will place the responsibility where it belongs: with the companies that cause climate change in the first place.
States have every right to protect their residents, and Vermonters shouldn’t be left holding the entire bill to guard ourselves against the destruction caused by severe storms, flooding, and the host of other impacts from our warming planet.
