CBO Cost Estimate for Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act
S. 1733, Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act, December 16, 2009. Cost estimate for the bill as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on November 5, 2009.
"In total, those changes would reduce budget deficits (or increase future surpluses) by about $21 billion over the 2010-2019 period. (All estimated effects would be on-budget.) In years after 2019, direct spending would be less than the net revenues attributable to the legislation in each of the 10-year periods following 2019. Therefore, CBO estimates that enacting S. 1733 would not increase the deficit in any of the four 10-year periods following 2019.
