Pass national“Carbon Fee and Dividend” legislation
Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s Solution
• Place a steadily rising fee on the CO2 content of fossil fuels
• Return all net revenue from the carbon fee back to households
• Enact border tariff adjustments to ensure fairness and competition

• Apply a fee to fossil fuels, start at $15• Base the fee on the CO2 the fuel will release
when burned• Collect the fee as far upstream in the
economy as practical• Steadily increase the fee each year by $10
