Wow! Big story in @TheAtlantic from @yayitsrob about the #EnergyInnovationAct.
"In Washington, the immaculate solution to #climatechange has a name: a bipartisan, revenue-neutral carbon tax."
“Last week, a study from economists @ColumbiaUEnergy found that the tax plan with the most support in Congress would slash American carbon pollution by almost 40 percent within a decade.” Great summary of our latest work @noahqk
There’s a bipartisan proposal in Congress that could cut US carbon pollution by a third in just five years, a new study finds.
But “bipartisan” is a funny word. Dozens of Democrats support the bill.
Its sole GOP backer is planning to leave politics.
We hear a lot about the dream of a bipartisan carbon tax-and-dividend scheme, so it’s worth being very clear:
Right now, there is NO such carbon-tax bill supported by lawmakers of both parties who are seeking re-election in 2020.
