The Climate Leadership Council: The Conservative Case for Carbon Dividends (2017)
There are many traditional conservatives who understand and believe in climate change. Consistent with their small government beliefs, they see a carbon tax as the best approach to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. In this report, the Climate Leadership Council lays out the argument for a gradual increasing carbon tax, starting at $40 a ton. (This would be about $0.40 a gallon for gasoline.) The proceeds of the tax would be used to defray the economic impact on lower income individuals, as well as to fund other societal priorities.
