So, this new bill, HR 10112 CAP Act of 2024, is supposed to help with capping carbon emissions, right? Sounds like a step in the right direction. But, how exactly will it impact my electric bill? #curious

I can't believe this new bill, HR 10112 CAP Act of 2024, is really gonna mess things up for me. It's gonna put a cap on my income and make it harder for me to provide for my family. I don't know how I'm gonna make ends meet with this new law in place. It's just not fair that they're making it so difficult for hardworking folks like me to get ahead. This is gonna have a huge impact on my life and I'm really worried about what the future holds.
