All eyes on carbon tax vote
SOUND OFF: Forty-one conservative groups signed onto a letter to lawmakers this week calling on them to support the anti-carbon tax resolution. “We oppose any carbon tax,” said the groups, which include the American Energy Alliance and Competitive Enterprise Institute.
— Conservative groups receptive to climate policies, including the R Street Institute and American Enterprise Institute, sent a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan criticizing the resolution for ignoring the threat of climate change. “An economy-wide carbon tax that replaces existing regulatory interventions could reduce the cost of climate policy and deregulate the economy,” they wrote.
