Learn about the positive potential of a carbon tax to create a huge number of jobs in renewable energy generation and energy conservation, while lowering greenhouse emissions dramatically! Campaign for a carbon tax in the U.S.
Why is this important?
This is the single most effective policy to lower emissions while enabling the economy to transition to a cleaner and greener energy future. It uses the market to reorganize human endeavor, to seriously lower greenhouse emissions, while creating opportunity for millions of people to do the important transition work! It strengthens the divestment work, by making divestment the best financial as well as moral choice. It strengthens renewable energy efforts, as well as making coal and fracked gas less viable. We need this as part of the solution! It is working in British Columbia and Ireland already, with proven track records! Let us do this right, for the Earth and for the humans!
We need to be sure that:
* the carbon tax is high enough to make a difference
* the revenue goes to lower taxes on work, to create jobs
* fracked gas is charged on leaked methane as well as carbon dioxide
With these three basics, a carbon tax will help to transition our economy into a healthy future!
