A Carbon tax is an efficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions without slowing down an economy, a comprehensive study found.
Eleven teams participated in a detailed study called the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum (EMF) project, which examined the economic and environmental impact of an economy-wide carbon tax in the United States.
Every single team found the same result: not only does a carbon tax lead to substantially fewer emissions, it also could have long-term positive economic growth.
Like, you know whats worse than not having a few extra dollars in our pockets right now? Having way less in the future to pay for fixing up this planet that the older bungling generation has so efficiently screwed up.
