House message: No carbon tax under Clinton
Eli Lehrer, the president of the free-market think tank the R Street Institute, agreed. “In the long run, a carbon tax or something like it is probably close to inevitable,” he said, arguing that a carbon tax is the best alternative to regulating carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act.
Both Lehrer and Taylor said they think it’s likely that a Republican will introduce carbon tax legislation in the House or Senate next year.
