A carbon tax is the simplest and economically most efficient way to limit carbon dioxide emissions. Ideally, the tax would be imposed on businesses and households at the same time that cumbersome environmental regulations are eliminated.

If the primary goal for the Sierra Club and other top environmental organizations is the reduction of emissions, as they would like the public to believe, they would support a revenue neutral carbon tax like the one proposed by Initiative 732, a Washington State ballot measure whose fate will be decided today.
