Description
In this special episode of Energy 360°, host Sarah Ladislaw partners with the Resources Radio podcast from Resources for the Future. Ladislaw and RFF’s Daniel Raimi interview RFF Fellow Marc Hafstead, director of RFF's Carbon Pricing Initiative.   Raimi and Ladislaw talk with Hafstead about a raft of recent legislative proposals in the US Congress to price greenhouse gas emissions: the major design elements of these bills, including the proposed carbon price; how revenues are used; how border adjustments can help protect US manufacturers; the political viability of these different proposals, including which policy elements might help build support for carbon price; and whether other policy approaches, such as a Clean Energy Standard, stand more of a chance in today's political environment.   References and recommendations:   The Wizard and the Prophet by Charles C. Mann   Paying for Pollution: Why a Carbon Tax is Good for America by Gilbert E. Metcalf   "Paying for Pollution, with Gilbert Metcalf" Resources Radio podcast episode
