Carbon Pricing Proposals in Today’s Congress, with Marc Hafstead

Energy 360° - A podcast by CSIS | Center for Strategic and International Studies

Raimi and Ladislaw talk with Hafstead about a raft of recent legislative proposals in the US Congress to price greenhouse gas emissions: the major design elements of these bills, including the proposed carbon price; how revenues are used; how border adjustments can help protect US manufacturers; the political viability of these different proposals, including which policy elements might help build support for carbon price; and whether other policy approaches, such as a Clean Energy Standard, stand more of a chance in today's political environment.   References and recommendations: The Wizard and the Prophet by Charles C.
