So now, let’s review the basics of the proposal:
1. The government would charge companies that produce coal, oil or natural gas, a fee based on the amount of carbon dioxide, and other greenhouse gasses, emitted when the fuels they produce are burned. This amount would be equal to $35 per ton of carbon dioxide produced.
2. All of the money collected from that fee would then be given to all citizens equally in the form of a monthly rebate check. The amount would total about $450 per person each year or $37.50 per month. For nearly all low- and middle-income people, the amount of the rebate would be more than the amount needed to cover their increased costs due to the fee.
Do you favor or oppose this proposal?
