| Pax Americana | 134 | No | It is a reasonable bill, but directly reduces growth of the oil & gas sector |
| People's Revolutionary Communist Front | 0 | No | This bill is nothing more than green capitalism designed to protect corporate profits under the false guise of public health. While it claims to reduce emissions, its "gradual phase-in" gives the automotive monopolies years to continue poisoning our air and exploiting workers. True ecological and public health crises cannot be solved by partnering with the very exploiters who created them. Real progress requires expropriating the transport and manufacturing sectors under workers' control, not offering weak compromises to capitalists. We categorically oppose this toothless reform! |
