Another thought: for the numerate among us it would be nice to summarize the spreadsheets, etc that may be referenced somewhere on the site. I just found the Carbon Tax for Colorado data and am starting to look at it. How many other spreadsheets exist?

Charles & Dan, nice makeover. I especially like the green box on the front page highlighting different details. One thought I had was for the box explaining the 10 cents per gallon per year leading to 30% emission reduction would be to mention how much that 10 cents means each person/family will get back at the end of the year as the tax is distributed. If you mention the dividend amount every time you mention the tax amount, it may start to seem less painful to people.
