Several years ago, Larry King asked him if he was a Democrat or Republican and he responded "even a graph has a y-axis".  

So too with so much of the carbon policy discussion, which frames it simply as a debate between carbon tax and cap/trade, with no appreciation for the multiplicity of flavors of each (or less of the other ways one could price in carbon externalities).

Anyway, nice job getting these other axes into the discussion.

Don't forget about the Congressional Budget Office study that found that grandfathering is worse for low-income citizens and comes at a higher net economic price than a C&T system with 100% auctioned permits.
