seek to enlist business allies. For more than a decade, major oil
companies have testified and lobbied in favor of a carbon tax.
Applying a carbon tax at the wellhead, the mine-mouth and the
port-of-entry for imported hydrocarbons will push the costs of
carbon-intensive activities from the beginning of the supply
chain straight through to the ultimate decision-makers, the consumers.
These are the decision-makers that have made the Ford
F-150 truck the best-selling vehicle in America.
On climate, President Biden would do well to embrace the
leadership example of President Jimmy Carter, who knew that
his appointment of inflation hawk Paul Volcker as chair of the
Federal Reserve during the stagflation crisis of the 1970's
would mean a one-term presidency. Volcker raised interest
rates. A recession followed, and the persistent inflation that had
plagued the United States for more than 10 years was over. A
similar, politically bruising series of climate trade-offs awaits
the United States. Measuring, naming and shaming in the public
markets will not scratch the surface of real solutions, and the
commission has its hands full simply trying to keep up with
old-fashioned financial and securities fraud. This proposed rule
should be withdrawn in its entirety.
