House bill would let states choose tax to comply with power plant rule
The idea of allowing states to use a levy has gained some traction among a small group of economists and policy experts, including Washington, D.C.’s conservative R Street Institute. Experts from R Street, the Brookings Institution, the Stanford University Law School and elsewhere signed joint comments outlining changes the agency could make to grant states that freedom. They advised EPA to broaden the rule’s definition of an emissions standard to include a levy.
