This is a much more transparent approach to pricing carbon. Also,
the revenues go to the state, which can use it to close the budget
gap, re-fund our public transportation systems, schools, and social
services, and invest in green energy. We the People need that money
more than Chevron does — make polluters pay!
 
Regulate specific pollution sources. A carbon tax makes it more
expensive to pollute, but does not always guarantee less pollution.
That’s why it’s a good idea to combine this policy with strict
enforcement of clean air laws with the biggest polluters, such as
oil refineries, making sure to clean up the environment for the
communities that live around them.
