Seattle Green Groups Say Revenue-Neutral Carbon Tax Is a Joke
Specifically, they reject “standup economist” Yoram Bauman’s drive for a revenue-neutral carbon tax in Washington State. Although the story doesn’t mention it, I am pretty sure they think I’m funnier, too.
I accidentally clicked the link to that guy’s website and I blame you for my ensuing mental trauma.
OT:
The EPA purposefully polluted the Animus river in Colorado in order to secure a government contract for $100-$500 million to build a treatment plant.
Actual line in this article about the tax opponents:
Climate change will disproportionately affect poor and minority communities, they note, so any climate initiative ought to place racial equity front and center.
