Have you thought about that? Wouldn't it encourage the public to support fossil fuel development since they're directly being paid cash money for every ton, barrel or cubic foot energy companies produce? Hansen's proposal calls for a “simple, honest” carbon fee, collected from fossil-fuel companies upon the first sale at the mine, wellhead or port of entry. The money collected via this fee would be distributed to the public as a monthly “dividend” or “green check.” Tell California potheads they'll get more dope money if the oil companies are allowed to drill offshore Cali. Tell them they'll be given money for strip mining Wyoming ... what will they say?
