Check out the new Carbon Tax Center:
The Carbon Tax Center was launched in January 2007 to give voice to Americans who believe that taxing emissions of carbon dioxide — the primary greenhouse gas — is imperative to reduce global warming. Co-founders Charles Komanoff and Daniel Rosenblum bring to CTC a combined six decades of experience in economics, law, public policy and social change. CTC’s mission is to educate and inform policymakers, opinion leaders and the public, including grassroots organizations, about the benefits of and critical need for significant, rising and equitable taxes on carbon emissions from fossil fuels.
I've already signed up for the monthly e-newsletter! I'm giddy.
But beware, the carbon tax advocates are also self-described environmental advocates (not that there is anything wrong with that) which makes me wonder if their preference for a carbon tax over cap-and-trade is a desire to stick it to firms (one feature of an emissions tax relative to cap-and-trade ... at least when permits are not auctioned off).
