Carbon pricing is an idea that makes sense on the merits but suffers fatal political problems. Supply constriction has the exact same substantive downsides but generates negative rather than positive tax revenue, so it’s much worse on the merits. https://t.co/6hmHLU58E3 — PolitiTweet.org

Good @JHWeissmann on the death of “supply side” climate policy. The only point I’d add is that the problems with this approach aren’t just political. https://t.co/SoLTrXnikE — PolitiTweet.org

Abandoning the whole idea of asking people to pay higher energy prices was the right approach for our moment. But a future time may come when carbon pricing makes sense. “Higher prices without any offsetting useful revenue” is never going to be a good strategy. — PolitiTweet.org
