The CLEAR Act proposes auctioning 100% of carbon permits to fossil fuel producers, with 75% of the revenue returned to citizens as monthly dividends. Analysts argue this creates a shell game where consumers pay higher energy costs at the pump and on utility bills, only to receive a portion of that money back from the government.
