Bill Nye Quotes

The Carbon Fee Would Raise The Cost Of The Things You Buy (since Right Now There Is Some Carbon Emitted In The Production And Distribution Of Pretty Much Everything). That's A Little Less Money In Your Pocket. But At The End Of The Year, The Government Would Take All Of The Money Collected By The Carbon Fee, Divide It Up, And Give It Back To You As A Dividend Check. By You, Of Course, I Mean All Of You. The Government Wouldn't Keep Any Of The Money. All The Fee Would Do Is Put A Realistic Price On The Carbon We Dump Into The Environment. Every Factory, Every Company Would Have An Incentive To Reduce Emissions, Because Then They Could Sell Things At A Lower Price. Consumers, Given A Choice Between A Low-carbon Pair Of Jeans And A High-carbon Pair Of Jeans, Would See A Cost Advantage In Choosing The Former. If You Live A Low-carbon Lifestyle All Year, When Your Dividend Check Arrives You Will Find That You Came Out Ahead.
