We get too much pollution when it’s free to pollute.
A carbon fee on fossil fuel production is the most efficient and comprehensive way to price climate pollution. The cash-back approach puts more money in most people's pockets and supports a strong price (benefits).
A strong global carbon price is required in the policy solution mix for any chance of a relatively safe climate future.
Worldwide, carbon pricing is spreading, but the U.S. is the key hold-up to achieving a global carbon price.
Our failure to price carbon is both an economic and climate problem (carbon price gap).
Interest in carbon pricing advocacy is low relative to its importance, but the only thing preventing a U.S. carbon price is the lack of political will.
Political will is up to each of us.
