Abstract

The article discusses political support among conservatives and liberals for a potential carbon tax to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The author reflects on a proposed plan in Washington, D.C. to implement a carbon tax with a focus on the energy use of city buildings. Emphasis is also given to topics such as the opposition of U.S. president Donald Trump to environmental regulation, the economic impact of environmental damage, and the issue of climate change in the Republican Party.
