It baffles me why conservative political actors in Canada have not embraced the #feeanddividend carbon policy. The fee provides direct market forcing toward carbon neutral consumption. The dividend provides bureaucracy free rewards to consumers who make good carbon choices. It is simple, fair and minimizes government need to choose winners.

In Ontario, Canada where I live our #carbonfee just went up to $65/ton. Since we have a version of James Hanson’s fee and dividend carbon policy our projected carbon dividend this year is close to $1000 paid quarterly. As an engineer I like the simple elegance of the #feeanddividend policy. Both the fee and the dividend naturally incentivize a move away from fossil fuels. The question I still have is $65/ton and $1000/yr enough to get job done.
