Vermont Senate Advances Climate Superfund Act to Hold Oil Companies Accountable for Historical Pollution Costs

The Vermont Senate has voted 21-5 to advance the ‘Climate Superfund Act’, which aims to hold oil companies accountable for climate damage from 2000 to 2020. The bill would allow the state to recover costs from the largest energy companies in proportion to their historical pollution. The money would go towards climate adaptation and recovery. At least four states are considering similar legislation, modeled after the federal Superfund program, which would seek to recover hundreds of billions of dollars from large fossil fuel companies based on historic emissions.
