Environmentalist Want Their Clean Cake and Government Revenues Too

Turns out those carbon hating green groups who want to clean up the air are not on board with a new carbon tax initiative (#732) that is to be placed on the ballot in Washington State. While a similar carbon tax has been in place in British Columbia for eight years and has shown to reduce emissions by 16 percent with no negative impacts on the economy, most environmental groups oppose the 732 initiative . The reason…the tax also includes tax cuts to offset the hike…in other words the proposal is revenue neutral. That doesn’t sit well with green house chicken littles who want the carbon tax AND the revenue that goes with it to further support their questionable clean-energy programs. Seems keeping the money flowing from big government is more important than clean air for many of these organizations.
