Expressing the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy.

HCONRES 86 is a non-binding congressional resolution expressing that a carbon tax would harm the U.S. economy. It states that such a tax would raise energy prices for essentials like gasoline, electricity, and home heating, disproportionately affecting low-income families, the elderly, and fixed-income individuals. The resolution argues a carbon tax would reduce economic growth, encourage businesses to move overseas, and weaken U.S. global competitiveness, urging focus on pro-growth energy policies instead.
