Any one who believes global warming is a serious matter should support this legislation at the Federal level.  We have to begin the process of valuing CO2 emission no matter what the source or how dependent a region is upon an energy source.

I'm glad a policy maker has the balls to propose the Carbon tax.  Isn't he the one who was brave enough recently to admit to being an athiest as well?

If this bill has any prayer of ever coming to fruition, we need to quit calling it a "Carbon Tax".  It needs to be framed not as a new tax but as a different way of paying taxes we are already paying.  Rewarding work and punishing polluters, and revenue neutrality need to be emphasized in talking points....And we must quit using the term "carbon tax".

Cheers, Gary Gifford
