Subject: Examine the Carbon Tax
Comment:
Dear CARB, I've been following your work for quite a few years now and am impressed by and grateful for your wonderful work on slowing down global warming, the most important issue of our time. I'd like to ask that CARB examine closely the possibility of a carbon tax for our state. What would be its effects, economically and environmentally? How does it compare to other measures such as cap and trade? I believe a carbon tax is relatively simple and could be extremely effective. It will cover emissions on a broad scale while bringing immediate relief to poor and minority communities who are most affected by air pollution. It can be readily tweaked, and readily copied by other jurisdictions nationally and internationally. And it will create jobs and help our economy overall. Thanks for your longstanding hard work for our state.
