Governments need a revenue system compatible with a low-carbon future (Adele Morris, Brookings)

The coming presidential election will perhaps be more pivotal for climate-change policy than any other policy arena. The next administration will decide how and whether to defend new Clean Air Act regulations in court (and whom to appoint to the courts), whether to promulgate new climate regulations, the direction of United States’ international climate commitments, and funding priorities for clean-energy technologies. One key decision, now under consideration by the U.S. Department of the Interior, will be whether to reform federal coal-leasing policies in a way that raises revenue and incorporates the cost of climatic damages into the price of federal coal.
