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.

11 essential questions for designing a policy to price carbon (Adele Morris, Brookings)

Economists widely advocate establishing a price on carbon as a central means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the risks of global climatic disruption and ocean acidification. To be sure, a price on carbon is necessarily one part of a broader climate policy portfolio that includes diplomatic engagement, research, investments in adapting to a changing climate, assistance for vulnerable populations, and other aspects of the challenge.

Coal economy workers need help—and a carbon tax could provide it (Adele Morris, Brookings)

Both as a result of market forces—especially low natural gas prices—and because of our search for clean energy sources, America’s coal workers and their communities are hurting. Coal consumption is declining, both at home and abroad, creating ripple effects across coal-reliant economies that begin with job losses and spill over to cause a host of economic and fiscal problems.

Build a better future for coal workers and their communities (Adele Morris, Brookings)

Some politicians call climate or other environmental policies a “war on coal,” framing the measures as an attack on the well-being of hard working Americans. Others chafe at such rhetoric, arguing it is aimed at derailing sensible measures to reduce the risks of global climatic disruption and harmful air pollution. Whatever the merits in each side’s arguments, it is increasingly clear that owing to both market-driven trends and environmental policies, workers in the coal industry and their communities are rightly concerned about their future.

How to use carbon tax revenues (Donald B. Marron, Adele Morris, Brookings)

How should governments use the considerable revenue carbon taxes can raise? There are many options for cutting other taxes, increasing spending, or reducing borrowing.
