Dr. James HansenClimate ScientistThe economic fact is that an economy is most efficient if prices are honest. As long as the price of fossil fuels does not include the costs to society, people suffer for the sake of fossil fuel industry profits. The way to rectify this is a rising carbon fee collected at the domestic mine or port of entry, with 100 percent of the funds distributed uniformly to legal residents.

Economic studies show that fee & dividend is the fastest way to drive down fossil fuel use while spurring innovation, clean energies and energy efficiency. And it is cost-free. In fact, it increases prosperity and government revenues.		Carbon Fee and Dividend 2/3/2021https://www.dailyclimate.org/boris-johnson-climate-talks-2650298658/johnson-leader

Elon Musk, CEO of TeslaAmerican electric vehicle and clean energy company“My top recommendation, honestly, would be just add a carbon tax..The economy works great. Prices and money are just information. ... If the price is wrong, the economy doesn’t do the right thing.”
"The No. 1 way to decrease carbon dioxide emissions would be to levy a tax on carbon"
"The real right way to correct [the subsidy] would be to establish a carbon tax. If you ask any economist they will tell you that is the obvious thing to do, put the correct price on carbon because we currently have an error in the economy which misprices carbon at zero or something closer to zero. It is a fundamental economic error."		Carbon Price2/12/2021https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/12/elon-musk-reducing-greenhouse-gas-emissions-with-a-carbon-tax.html

Bill GatesAmerican business magnate, software developer, investor, author, and philanthropist. Co-founder of Microsoft Corporation."Put a price on carbon…it tells the market that there will be extra costs associated with products that emit greenhouse gas emissions…the concept of a carbon price has broad acceptance among economists from many schools of thought and across the political spectrum…The core objective is to make sure everyone pays the true cost of their emissions.” (p. 206-207)
“The idea isn’t to punish people for their greenhouse gases: it’s to create an incentive for investors to create competitive carbon-free alternatives. By progressively increasing the price of carbon to reflect its true cost, governments can nudge producers and consumers toward more efficient decisions and encourage innovation…you’re a lot more likely to try to invent a new kind of electro fuel if you know it won’t be undercut by artificially cheap gasoline. “
“Today when businesses make products or consumers buy things, they don’t bear any extra cost for the carbon involved, even thought that carbon imposes a very real cost on society. This is what economists call an externality: an expense that’s borne by society rather than the person or business who’s responsible for it. There are various ways, including a carbon tax…to ensure that at least some of these external costs are paid by whoever is responsible for them.”		Carbon Price 2/16/2021https://www.google.com/books/edition/How_to_Avoid_a_Climate_Disaster/pHK0DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover

"Supports carbon leakage protection measures: Yes: Any climate policy must protect the ability of energy-intensive, trade-exposed industries to compete in the global economy."
"Supports uniform, national policy: Yes: Climate policy should be developed and authorized by the U.S. Congress. Ideally, climate policy should result in a single transparent and effective national program that gradually eliminates the need for a patchwork of state laws and federal regulations."

Washington PostAmerican daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C. But market-based incentives should be part of any climate legislation, for reasons of policy and politics alike. Democrats need more than their side to get a comprehensive bill. They need 10 Republican votes to reach 60 in the Senate. The only other option is using reconciliation, a parliamentary maneuver that allows budget-related bills to pass the Senate by a simple majority. But climate mandates would not qualify for reconciliation. Using reconciliation, Democrats could enact massive federal subsidies but not climate regulations. They also could impose carbon taxes, or a mix of carbon taxes and spending.

In a functional Congress, this situation would produce a deal: Mr. Romney and other GOP senators would offer a carbon tax; Democrats would insist that some of its revenue go to underserved communities and renewable energy research; the nation would get a climate plan. Mr. Romney should try. Democrats should listen. If it does not work, Democrats must find another path. One way or another, this Senate must approve a strong climate policy.

A. Scott Anderson - CEO Zions BankUtah's oldest financial institutionWhy this policy? Put simply, carbon dividends is one of the best solutions to our climate problem. Other policies work too slowly, pick winners and losers, and impose burdensome restrictions on industry. By contrast, the Baker-Shultz Plan centers on a nationwide carbon fee to drive down emissions across the entire economy. It will slash U.S. carbon emissions by more than half over the next two decades while giving businesses the certainty and steady incentives they need to innovate. And it rewards forward-thinking entrepreneurs, like we have in Utah.

Bob InglisFormer US Representative from South Carolina"The mechanism with the deepest conservative roots and most economic promise is a revenue-neutral carbon tax. The idea is to change what we tax: untax income; tax carbon dioxide instead. We to get to revenue-neutrality by returning the money generated from the carbon tax to citizens via tax breaks such as a reduction in payroll tax or through a carbon-dividend check. We wouldn’t be growing government, but products would have the fossil-fuel pollution costs that they impose on society added into their price structure."Carbon Fee and Dividend 12/29/2021https://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/2021/12/30/opinion-heres-why-conservatives-should-embrace-carbon-dioxide-tax/9045543002/

World Shipping CouncilRepresents major container ship carriersOn establishment of a Global Carbon Price:
"Virtually all studies undertaken to date conclude that low and zero GHG fuels will cost substantially more than conventional fuel oil. If we consider those zero GHG fuels that can be produced with little or no production of GHG gases through renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind, and hydro power), the differential in cost of these fuels can be expected to be three to five times the cost of conventional fuel oil for a significant period of time. Considering these cost differentials, the ability of companies to put zero GHG ships on the water and to operate them competitively (among a fleet of ships with dramatically lower fuel costs) requires establishment of a carbon price that effectively levels the playing field among newer low and zero GHG ships and the tens of thousands of ships that will still be burning fuels with significant GHG emissions. Alternatively, or in combination with an established carbon price, programmes that explicitly ‘buy-down’ the cost of specific zero GHG fuels will likely be necessary. These programmes should not be ad-hoc or dependent on voluntary funding sources because a dependable and broad-based programme will be necessary to be effective. Significant efforts over the last decade have been made by this Committee, working groups, and expert groups discussing the pros and cons of a GHG levy and emissions trading. While significant pros and cons exist for both approaches, the most important objective is to establish a carbon-price that is applied at a global scale. Consequently, WSC is open-minded to what approach (levy, ETS, or a hybrid) is taken. The important outcome is agreement on a market-based measure that provides the necessary financial conditions where companies can build and operate zero GHG ships and still remain competitive in the marketplace."

Michael GreenstoneEconomist"It's an unpopular thing to say, but energy prices have been too low for a long time. As countries around the world, and more generally societies, begin to make it more complicated to produce energy from fossil fuels, prices are going to go up—and we actually want them to. I think it's also true that energy prices are a flashpoint politically. And I think it underscores the need for doing the transition in a responsible way that accounts for the fact that energy is a large fraction of low income people's budget. What we really need is a comprehensive approach that would better protect low-income households, something like carbon pricing with rebating. The private sector has been surprisingly aggressive, to my eyes, on climate in the last 12-18 months. Maybe it's a function of their customers. Maybe they see climate regulation coming. But that is a very misshapen approach. It's no real substitute for a coherent climate policy. Certainly, the distributional considerations are 100% absent from those efforts and discussions—because the private sector isn't equipped to do it."Carbon Fee and Dividend 2/23/2022Quick Talk in Time Climate is Everything weekly newsletter

Ryan LanceCEO of ConocoPhillipsFRIEDMAN: How about a tax on carbon?

LANCE: We believe that a price on carbon, together with a plan to dividend the funds back to the consumer, would provide a stable and predictable market signal that would influence investment flows and end-user demand, while minimizing the local economic and social impacts of the energy transition. But we also acknowledge the political challenges of applying additional taxes at the point of sale. So other policy mechanisms should also be considered, including cap and trade, border adjustments, and equitable carbon credits across key parts of the economy.
