Recent news from France confirms my assessment…sort of. Sarkozy has pulled out almost all the stops the environmentalists have been asking for.

That will reduce emissions and improve France's competitive position in the labor market. The American Enterprise Institute endorses this approach too. How do we get US candidates to address the issue? (I'm sick of vague talk about a "cap.")
I've very rarely voted Republican but I would vote for (and send money to) one who supported a substantial broad-based gradually-increasing carbon tax.
Dingell and Stark's bill is excellent. Any Republican co-sponsors?
