Dec 11, 2012: Carbon taxes and coal export

There continues to be a lot of talk about carbon taxes at the state level in Washington (and in Oregon and maybe even in California) and also a lot of play at the national level, including this Elizabeth Kobert piece in the New Yorker, plus David Frum and this terrific Tom Toles cartoon. Nothing more definitive to report---and there probably won't be until legislatures come back into session in January---but we should keep pushing!

Speaking of pushing, there's a big coal-export hearing this Thursday afternoon. I'm planning to go and drum up support for CarbonWA (in addition to adding my voice to those who think that coal exports are not a great idea), so if you're interested in joining the fun let me know or text/call me at the event: 206-351-5719.
