Carbon Fee Would Invest In Clean Energy, But How Much Pollution Would It Cut?
View on KNKX, Seattle Public Radio website"How the clean energy fund is invested is perhaps the most important question, says analyst Marc Hafstead with the Washington, D.C.-based think tank, Resources for the Future.
He’s been studying carbon policy for the past decade and says the price that I-1631 puts on carbon is really pretty low. It probably won’t get many people out of their cars at first or change other consumer behaviors much. That makes good investments in clean energy alternatives crucial.
'So, the success of the policy is going to depend on how effective those investments are at reducing emissions,' Hafstead says."
