Carbon Tax Could Raise Revenue, Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions, CBO Report Says

摘要

A federal carbon tax could raise $1.06 trillion in revenue by 2021 and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from affected industrial sources by 10 percent, the Congressional Budget Office said in a report on deficit reduction. The CBO evaluated a tax of $25 per metric ton on greenhouse gas emissions as part of the Nov. 13 report, "Options for Reducing the Deficit: 2014 to 2023."
