Tax fossil fuels to cut emissions and fund climate initiatives.
Pros:

• It sends a clear price signal to reduce greenhouse-gas output.
• It spurs clean-energy investment and innovation.
• It generates predictable revenue for climate mitigation and rebates.

Cons:

• It can be regressive without targeted rebates for low-income households.
• It faces steep political challenges as a new federal tax.
• It risks “carbon leakage” if industries relocate abroad.

Conclusion: A carbon tax is market-efficient but demands equity safeguards and political will.
