A well-constructed climate bill would boost the economy by $111 billion by 2020 and create 2 million jobs, according to researchers at Yale, Berkeley and the University of Illinois.

It found that all 50 states would gain from a federal policy and Midwestern states would stand to gain more than coastal ones. TreeHugger (11/19)
