On Carbon, Tax and Don't Spend

From The New York Times

Everyone seems to be talking about a carbon tax. The idea is that polluters should pay for the environmental damage they cause. Slap a tax on carbon, the theory goes, and you will get fewer carbon emissions, more revenue for government and energy independence, all at the same time. No wonder people from both sides of the political divide have come out in support of it.

The one country in which carbon taxes have led to a large decrease in emissions is Denmark. Read about how they did it.
