The Conservative Case for Carbon Dividends
CL Council, 2017
Aperçu
Conservatives propose a plan to combat climate change, letting the market do most of the work.
Recommendation
A revenue-neutral carbon tax would be an effective and politically feasible way to tackle climate change, according to a group of senior Republicans, including former treasury secretary Henry Paulson and former secretaries of state James Baker and George Shultz. The group, which has formed the Climate Leadership Council, proposes that the Grand Old Party can address climate change without abandoning long-held conservative convictions or hurting the economy. While always politically neutral, getAbstract recommends the Council’s succinct policy proposal to business leaders, policy makers and US voters of any political affiliation.
