Thank you for being a national leader on climate change and for providing this opportunity to comment on your work. I would ask that you conduct a more thorough analysis of a steadily rising revenue-neutral carbon tax. Such a tax would offer several advantages over other regulatory and pricing mechanisms, including predictability, transparency, and effectiveness. A blueprint for such a tax can be found in CA Assembly Joint Resolution 43. Given that California has been a “test kitchen” for cap and trade, it is significant that with this resolution our legislature calls on Congress to enact a national carbon tax. Let’s learn from the problems we’ve had with cap and trade and give serious consideration to an alternative which will reduce emissions, save lives and strengthen the economy. Thanks again for your tireless and groundbreaking work on behalf of California and, indeed, the entire country. |
