Buttigieg climate plan includes carbon tax

5/17/19

Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg (D) wants to tax carbon emissions as part of his climate action agenda.

The South Bend, Ind., mayor listed pricing carbon from polluters as one of his campaign policy initiatives on his website.

Speaking to theSkimm on Thursday, he said the plan to tax carbon polluters and distribute the profits as dividends back to Americans would allow the public to “actually see more money in our pockets.”
