Thanks for running the One View article by Mark Reed endorsing the concept of the carbon fee and dividend to push people toward reducing their carbon footprints.
I would like to point out that the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, which Reed and I support, is designed to be attractive to both liberals and conservatives. It relies on a market to reduce greenhouse gases by charging the fossil fuel producers. And when the money is redistributed in equal shares, those who use less, mostly poorer people, will come out ahead. But all of us will benefit from huge reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
